Thanks Mario!
Perfect. The question that remains is, if mounting /var to a separate partition is common enough to make RequiresMountsFor=/var the default in brltty.service, or, if making it the default would have any unwanted side effects. systemd makes it easy enough (as the example above demonstrates) for a system administrator to override certain settings in a unit. So if everything else fails, we can still document this trick somewhere. However, I'd rather have the default brltty.service unit DTRT whenever possible. Question is, shall we list all directories relevant to BRLTTY in RequiresMountsFor=? Or just all the top-level directories? Something like RequiresMountsFor=/etc /lib /var -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕
