Hi
I see it in mine as well:
Before=multi-user.target slurmdbd.service shutdown.target
it's not defined in either unit so I think it's being inserted by systemd as part of the "After" requirement in the slurmdbd unit. From my (limited) grasp of systemd, I don't think the "Before" ensures that slurmdbd would be stopped if mysql stops, just that it's start command is issued before slurmdbd's start command

If you run `systemctl show ${YourDbServiceName}` , do you see "slurmdbd.service" in the "Before" definition? I inherited my Cluster, so IDK if the previous admin modified that.
