Sorry, I'm not understanding your comment. What I understood is that the systemd developers said "It is not our responsibility if ubuntu does not boot, this is not a systemd bug! In fact, the issue in booting is caused by some quota related units, shipped by Ubuntu, that are not part of systemd". Then, I saw that the faulty systemd units are shipped with the "quota" package, just as you say. Yet, the upstream quota package does not contain these units. The systemd quota related units and scripts are a downstream ubuntu (maybe from debian) addition (in fact, they live in the debian dir of the package).
This is why I was reporting that the systemd developers suggest that this is a downstream bug (a bug in the Ubuntu distro), not an upstream bug (a bug in systemd 231). I never implied that ubuntu forgot to ship some units. I'm only saying that the quota units shipped with ubuntu evidently mistake something, because when they are masked the system boots, otherwise it doesn't. Possibly, the issue is only triggered if one has quotas+lvm2+fake or soft raid. This may explain why the mistake got unnoticed when it slipped in. I suppose that this bug should be fixed by the maintainers of the quota package in ubuntu, possibly with the help of the systemd maintainers. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => quota (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
