I don't think it needs to be started 'right before X', but I am thinking
it may need to be started after networking services are up and running,
or some other service. This is pure specualtion on my part, so don't
take it as anything more. I just notice that for me, xfs is one of the
last services started.

If this does work, then it may mean it needs to be started after some
other service.
