--- Comment #4 from GuoQing Jiang
upgrade my small vserver from 42.1 latest patches to 42.2. no errors during zypper dup, smooth and easy. but reboot stops in emergency mode
journalctl -xb appended.
I'm not deeply familiar in reading journalctl entries, but there seems to be a major issue. line 1249 and following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Nov 19 13:41:28 vserver systemd[1]: var-mail.mount: Mount on symlink /var/mail not allowed. -- Subject: Mount point is not empty -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- The directory /var/mail is specified as the mount point (second field in -- /etc/fstab or Where= field in systemd unit file) and is not empty. -- This does not interfere with mounting, but the pre-exisiting files in -- this directory become inaccessible.

a) /var/mail is empty, for 100%. Only peculiarity is that "." has a "t" instead of "x" for execute bit for "other". Probably because as an OpenSuse out-of-the-box-default a link between /var/mail and /var/spool/mail exists.
b) fstab is as follows:

What are the devices under /, swap and /boot? All of them use normal disks not lv, right? I'd like to try the same setup in local, and it would be better if you can show the outputs of pvs/vgs/lvs, thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
