AppVM automatic boot fail, dom0:md127 not available

Hi,
automatic boot of a specific AppVM (vault) fails, due to missing block device.
I attached my RAID1 to the vault using:

$ qvm-block attach vault dom0:md127 --persistent

But this fails, since /dev/md127 seems not to be populated during boot at that time.
My workaround is to automatically boot the VM at login (xfce → session & startup → application autostart → qvm-start vault).

There seems to be missing some kind of systemd magic “requires block device”, which i am unfamiliar with. I also don’t have a github account at the moment, so i thought i post this here.

Greetings
