Public bug reported:

Systemd boots degraded because of the invalid content of /etc/fstab:

$ lxc shell gg-test 
root@gg-test:~# systemctl is-system-running 
degraded
root@gg-test:~# systemctl list-units --failed 
  UNIT                       LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                   
      
● systemd-remount-fs.service loaded failed failed Remount Root and Kernel File 
Systems

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed.
root@gg-test:~# cat /etc/fstab 
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs   /        ext4   defaults        0 0
root@gg-test:~# echo "" > /etc/fstab 
root@gg-test:~# reboot

Session terminated, killing shell... ...killed.
rbalint@yogi:~$ lxc shell gg-test 
root@gg-test:~# systemctl is-system-running 
running
root@gg-test:~# systemctl list-units --failed 
  UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
0 loaded units listed.


Not shipping is also fixing the issue, but some programs (such as systemd 
autopkgtes) reads fstab and a missing fstab should be special-cased, thus that 
would cause more breakages.
