Yes, it does.

But that shouldn't be requiring /home/ Yes, but I thought that sysemd might order the mounts by some means which would, just as an implementation detail, mount /home before it declares /var to be present (unlikely though). >I tried to install a system with an encrypted /home, and brltty does get >started before the /home passphrase step. You can probably check >journalctl and other systemd tools to see what is actually happening. The flood of messages is a bit overwelming. The systemd unit of BRLTTY (journalctl -u brltty) is obviously not helpful. To you suggest to read /var/log/syslog from the boot on? Thanks Sebastian
