I believe the addition of the Restart
option to your systemd
service file would ensure it gets start when not stopped by the systemctl stop
command:
Restart=[no | on-success | on-failure | on-abnormal | on-watchdog | on-abort | always ]
Info:
no: the default, the service will not be restarted
on-success: will be restarted only when the service process exits cleanly
on-failure: will be restarted when the process exits with a non-zero exit code
on-abort: will be restarted only if the service process exits due to an uncaught signal not specified as a clean exit status
on-watchdog: will be restarted only if the watchdog timeout for the service expires
always: will be restarted regardless of whether it exited cleanly or not, got terminated abnormally by a signal, or hit a timeout
Restart=
Configures whether the service shall be restarted when the service process exits, is killed, or a timeout is reached. The service process may be the main service process, but it may also be one of the processes specified with ExecStartPre=, ExecStartPost=, ExecStop=, ExecStopPost=, or ExecReload=. When the death of the process is a result of systemd operation (e.g. service stop or restart), the service will not be restarted. Timeouts include missing the watchdog "keep-alive ping" deadline and a service start, reload, and stop operation timeouts.
Takes one of no, on-success, on-failure, on-abnormal, on-watchdog, on-abort, or always. If set to no (the default), the service will not be restarted. If set to on-success, it will be restarted only when the service process exits cleanly. In this context, a clean exit means an exit code of 0, or one of the signals SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGPIPE, and additionally, exit statuses and signals specified in SuccessExitStatus=. If set to on-failure, the service will be restarted when the process exits with a non-zero exit code, is terminated by a signal (including on core dump, but excluding the aforementioned four signals), when an operation (such as service reload) times out, and when the configured watchdog timeout is triggered. If set to on-abnormal, the service will be restarted when the process is terminated by a signal (including on core dump, excluding the aforementioned four signals), when an operation times out, or when the watchdog timeout is triggered. If set to on-abort, the service will be restarted only if the service process exits due to an uncaught signal not specified as a clean exit status. If set to on-watchdog, the service will be restarted only if the watchdog timeout for the service expires. If set to always, the service will be restarted regardless of whether it exited cleanly or not, got terminated abnormally by a signal, or hit a timeout.

I ran into this when trying to get different types of machines running the latest version of Samba for time machine use as well.
One solution is to change the Type=notify to Type=simple. There is something about the new versions of Samba not playing nice with the way systemd handles process communication.
-Type=notify
+Type=simple
Then run systemctl daemon-reload and try to start er up again.

I have no idea why some hosts could but some couldn't, if you want a consistent behavior, you should enable memory accounting for a single unit or by default for all units by setting:
in
/etc/systemd/system.conf
and then doing:Check out this list thread from the systemd developers, and systemd-system.conf[5].
