But devkmsg ratelimits systemd errors, so one does not even know that
"some debugging is required". For instance from my x86 box:

 Unmounting /home...
 [..]
 home.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited status=32
 Failed unmounting /home.

I don't want to debug systemd, I want to know that something didn't
work out. 10 messages max and 5 seconds interval looks a bit too strict.
