And even
systemctl status saned.socket
and
systemctl status saned@.service
* saned is socket activated.
* saned@.service manages saned instances.
* saned.service is masked because it is an empty file.
* The file is empty to allow all instances to be managed together.
I reinstalled the OS because I didn't like the LVM and also I wanted it
to be EFI and not BIOS.
So thought I'd install Bookworm as I'm about it, got loads of errors
purging saned and scanbd, trying to get scanning to work again,
something about files not really being files.
I gave up and have reinstalled Bullseye as I know that works.
It's only a day to put everything back as I like, or maybe a bit more.
My original question was why do things get masked.
"Systemctl status the-service" was saying it's masked because it's
masked which is not very informative but it must be a nightmare for the
maintainers to cover all eventualities.
