Correct. I edited /lib/systemd/system/tor.service and added ReadWriteDirectories=-/media/cRAID/Tor and now 0.2.6.9 is running. I'm not entirely sure how to create my own /etc/systemd/system/tor.service so I leave it at that. (Trying out 'systemctl edit' I get "Unknown operation 'edit'." BTW.)

Just copy the /lib/systemd/system/tor.service file to /etc/systemd/system and edit it there -- it will take precedence over the one in /lib . You don't want to edit the one in /lib directly, since it is meant to be for distribution files that can/should be replaced on upgrades.
