** Description changed: - After update to systemd 237-3ubuntu10.9 systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - fails with: + [Impact] + + * Last security update introduced a regression on btrfs based systems, causing systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service to fail to start, resulting in degraded machines. + * Cherrypick upstream fixes to resolve this. + + [Test Case] + + * Install VM using btrfs for / + * Boot, check that systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is started successfully with: + $ systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service + + [Regression Potential] + + * btrfs fd doesn't support the set of flags that systemd used, with + this patch, a compat set of flags is set instead, thus resolving the + introduced regression. The worst case scenario is that creating + subvolumes/directories is still broken (as in, the current status quo). + + [Other Info] + + * Example bad output + + + After update to systemd 237-3ubuntu10.9 systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails with: Nov 21 13:44:12 node-blc49 systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories...
