Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-09-07 13:03:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running `systemctl --user` and `systemctl --user --all` also lists some systemd units only useful to the system instance, for example var.mount or boot.mount or dev-hugepages.mount or dev-mapper-luks….device. For a user there is no use in listing these, so how about hiding them?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-229-13.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
always
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-09-07 13:42:27 UTC 
That's by design... user units can depend on those units to start things only if something is mounted, or if a certain device is available, etc. I don't think we want to hide them, because systemctl is a fairly low level tool, and hiding things would add even more complexity.
