My solution for various related problems has been apt-get remove systemd.
Good old SYSV init runs like a champ, _and_ has predictable behaviour.

Hi All,
I have installed a new SLES12 SP2 guest. The root partition is on one
partition (/dev/dasda1). The remaining system directories are stored within
an lvm, rootvg. This lvm contains logical volumes for /usr, /opt, /home, /tmp
and /var.
During boot, when systemd is started it tries to umount /usr. After a couple
of tries umount ends. But I did have one occasion where the umount apparently
succeeded as the guest came up in emergency mode, without /usr mounted.
I just did an install to try to replicate this, and I see nothing like that
happening. The only messages I see regarding /usr are these:
Dec 14 13:00:22 linux dracut-initqueue[307]: inactive '/dev/system/usr' [3.00
GiB] inherit
Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounting /sysroot/usr...
Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounted /sysroot/usr.
Clearly there's something quite different about my install versus yours. I
think you're going to need to open a service request with your service provider.
