[arch-general] moving custom hooks to systemd

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

Hello list,

I tried booting with systemd and two custom hooks I have that create the 
/var directory on tmpfs didn't work. Google doesn't help here and my 
experience with systemd is in its infancy, so is there specific action I 
should take?

My custom hooks are set to run during sysinit_postmount and 
shutdown_preumount, see attached file for full source.


Thanks in advance,
Dimitris

function varsync_stop ()

	# saving the /var filesystem from the tmpfs
	echo -e 'y\ny' | /usr/bin/pacman -Scc >/dev/null
