Hi Richard,

Take var-lib-volatile.service as an example.
In the service file, we have:

ConditionPathIsReadWrite=!/var/lib


So if /var/lib is rw, the service is not started. On a ro system, 
/var/lib is read-only, and the service is started.


I just realized that I didn't put comments in these patches.
I'll send out a V2.

Best Regards,
Chen Qi
