[Touch-packages] [Bug 1460794] Re: boot fails if /dev/cgroup fstab entry is present

2016-10-30 Thread Robert Hardy
This shouldn't have been marked invalid. It has caused me and apparently others grief. It wouldn't be hard to have the upgrade tool check for uncommented cgroup lines, given they blow up an upgrade. I'm glad my experience and work around helped someone else who ran into the same things. -- You

I am not convinced that the cgroup issue was the only issue here, but since this is a single physical I can't easily go back in time to test further. Either way the changed summary is backwards. Once repartitioning was completed systemd fails to boot if the /dev/cgroup fstab entry IS present. Th

I dug into this more on the server that failed to upgrade properly to see if the server would work properly after switching back to systemd. Please recall this was after a backup and restore with a much simpler partitioning scheme. It still would not boot. I ended up finding this line in my fstab:

Please note attempting to mitigate this by switching back to upstart failed as well. Doing so did make it so the system would boot past mounting /usr however for no obvious reason the system stopped automatically mounting the /var partition. With no network services running, the system would stop

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1460794] [NEW] systemd will not work with a separate /usr partition

2015-06-01 Thread Robert Hardy
Public bug reported: I recently upgraded a server from 14.10 to 15.04. The upgrade claim to have worked but the system could not boot afterwards. Basically when you attempt to reboot you end up at an emergency maintenance prompt early in the boot process. After a lot of digging one of the messag
