Comment 34 for bug 1755863

Eric,

The 'recommendation' for masking dev-hugepages you site from that wiki page is clearly just an example of how you could disable one of the various mounts described there. I don't think it's a recommendation to fix anything in particular.

FWIW: Masking dev-hugepages doesn't seem to help much for me. Masking tmp seems to let the system boot up, but still the other mount services fail and systemd status is red 'degraded.'

I've ended up masking all affected mounts (per comment 12 and 14) with the addition of masking run-rpc_pipefs.mount too. This lets the systemd boot up to green 'running' state.

I'm still having problems logging into Gnome with a user with NFS home. I'm not sure if that's related to this issue or something else though. Still looking at that.

I think you're on the right track in comment 27. I get the feeling that somewhere along the line a result of 'this is already mounted' changed from a success to a failure in systemd, possibly due to the change in mount.c you pasted.
