Erk -- that's what broke the boot after all? Indeed, this was in comment
4 already, but I missed that. So the journal should have a
complaint/timeout on that, as /dev/cgroup is a thing of the distant past
(google still has a few hits). Thanks for finding!

I'm going to poke around in 10.04's and 12.04's packages to see which
one would possibly have added that fstab line.

** Summary changed:

- systemd does not boot with a separate /usr partition
+ boot fails on missing /dev/cgroup fstab entry

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Title:
  boot fails on missing /dev/cgroup fstab entry

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded a server from 14.10 to 15.04. The upgrade claim to
  have worked but the system could not boot afterwards.

  Basically when you attempt to reboot you end up at an emergency maintenance prompt early in the boot process.
  After a lot of digging one of the messages in the logs gives:
  systemd[1]: /usr appears to be on its own filesystem and is not already mounted. This is not a supported setup. Some things will probably break (sometimes even silently) in mysterious ways. Consult http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken

  Basically systemd cannot deal with /usr being on a separate partition.
  That needs to be fixed or systemd should not be used for upgrades with
  a separate /usr partition.

  This is related to bug 1460790 but asking for systemd to actually be fixed.
  Please see bug 1460790 if you are looking for a work around on this issue.
