Got it! Sort of... Misabling quotas make the system boot reliably.
No clue why. It may not be a race, rather the fact that the initial quota check is supposed to happen only in certain cases. No idea. Debugging boot with systemd is beyond my expertise. Masking the systemd quota.service (the initial quota check) seems to be sufficient to enable a reliable boot. Still I see failures on shutdown related to the disabling of the stuff in fstab. ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #4486 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4486 ** Also affects: systemd via https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4486 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - Regression: yakkety does not boot (boots once every ~4 attempts) + Regression: quotas prevent yakkety from booting (boots once every ~4 attempts) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635023 Title: Regression: quotas prevent yakkety from booting (boots once every ~4 attempts) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemd/+bug/1635023/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
