Hello Seth as I'm also facing a similar issue which is also related to this bug I'm now posting to this bug report as it has the highest heat concerning issues with systemd and systemd-tmpfiles (service do not start correctly). I don't think this is exclusively related to OpenVZ because I'm also affected I don't use OpenVZ.
I have collected a few reports which also relate to the systemd changes which result in services not starting on boot up: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1811580 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1804603 https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8852-ssh-doesnt-work-on-orange-pi-zero/ I'm on Armbian on an OrangePI One and I'm also affected by services that won't start anymore. The same was the case with systemd-229-4ubuntu21.9 and now with 229-4ubuntu21.15. All other systemd version did work without any issues. For the sake of completeness I will now also attach my system information and terminal output which relates to the issue.
