MAAS images were broken because cloud-init could not handle the new behavior. This is not the MAAS team's responsibility to fix, the Server Team has been working on it with Dimitri; and having our MAAS images broken was an unacceptable regression that was blocking kernel testing. See the other linked bug, LP: #1890803, for details. If the cloud-initramfs-tools change has landed, then the livecd-rootfs revert can be reverted again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877078 Title: Please ship empty /etc/fstab in LXD images Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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.

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.
