Title:
  Crash due to a lack of a root-fs

Status in cloud-init:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hey, this certainly isn't the most important case.
  But I wanted to report it to make you aware.

  For bug 1732028 I was trying different configs.
  One was an empty /etc/fstab with the kernel providing the iscsi root.

  In that case cloud init runs and since it does not check on RW for /
  it crashes a bit less soft than it could be.

  See 'systemctl status cloud-init-local.service' for details.

  OTOH while the stacktrace is a bit much for this case the message in between is sort of clear

  As I said I only wanted to let you know if you want to adapt that to not even try to run in those cases and maybe throw less text at the user.
  Feel free to just mark it invalid if you are fine with that being the messaging in this case.
