+# We are using a Type=simple service instead of the normal Type=oneshot
+# since Type=oneshot can't have Restart= lines
+# https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2582
+# Unfortunately Type=oneshot services halt any services which order after
+# the oneshot on the completion of ExecStart= lines. For Type=simple, the
+# halting is only until ExecStartPre lines have completed and ExecStart has
+# begun executing. Since we want to wait for the `mapper wait` process to
+# finish, it must be an ExecStartPre. All Type=simple services require an
+# ExecStart so we use `true` as a placeholder to satisfy the requirement.
