This eliminates the window\nduring ovsdb-server restarts when clients cannot connect to the database.\n\nThe socket unit reads OVS_USER_ID from the same configuration files as\nthe service unit (/etc/openvswitch/default.conf, /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch)\nand adjusts socket group ownership via ExecStartPost so that non-root\nOVS deployments can connect.\n\nUpdate service dependencies:\n - ovsdb-server.service: Requires=ovsdb-server.socket\n - ovs-vswitchd.service: After/Requires=ovsdb-server.socket instead of\n ovsdb-server.service, remove AssertPathIsReadWrite (socket exists\n before the service starts)\n - ovs-delete-transient-ports.service: After=ovsdb-server.socket,\n remove AssertPathExists (same reason)\n\nCo-authored-by: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>\nSigned-off-by:
