[SOLVED]systemd-fstab-generator and syslog error?

here is the bootup error message:

Nov  2 07:27:58 localhost [    9.207762] systemd-fstab-generator[151]: Failed to create unit file: File exists
Nov  2 07:27:58 localhost [   10.119699] systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator exited with exit status 1.

and my fstab is here:

#

Re: [SOLVED]systemd-fstab-generator and syslog error?

I think that because it is already using tmp.mount to put /tmp on a tmpfs, it is probably conflicting.

Also, the "help me please" in you title is really annoying.  Why else would you be posting here?  That part is kind of assumed.  And when you assumed, you make an ass out of u and med.  Med doesn't like it one bit.

Re: [SOLVED]systemd-fstab-generator and syslog error?

The syslog thing is not critical.  If you don't have a syslong installed, you need not worry about it, as that functionality is now taken over by the journal.  I just masked it.  See the wiki for more info.

Re: [SOLVED]systemd-fstab-generator and syslog error?

For the sake of anyone else running across this: the problem is that you have two entries for /tmp in your fstab.
