systemd-fstab-generator[151]: Failed to create unit file: File exists
This is my first time posting to the Arch forums, but I've been using it daily for about 7 months. I am getting the error message systemd-fstab-generator[151]: Failed to create unit file: File exists when I try to boot my machine. I am using a live cd of Backtrack, and can view and edit my fstab. I tried searching google, and I found somebody on this forum with the same problem, but they fixed it by removing an extra line for tmpfs. I only have one entry in the file for tmpfs. If needed, I can paste my fstab here. Does anybody have an idea for me? Any help is much appreciated.

Sorry, guess I should have done that in first place.

Re: systemd-fstab-generator[151]: Failed to create unit file: File exists
Ok, thank you for your help! I got that problem fixed by deleting the line starting with LABEL and the one above it. But now when I boot I noticed another error that I think was there all along, I just thought it was related to the first one. when I boot all I see is :
arch: recovering journal
arch: Superblock last mount time is in the future.
(by less than a day, probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set) FIXED.
arch has been mounted 32 times without being checked, check forced.
arch: 479205/2244608 files (0.3% non-contiguous), 7084819/8966270 blocks
systemd-fsck[258]: /dev/sda3: recovering journal
systemd-fsck[258]: /dev/sda3: clean, 31/70416 files, 17756/281137 blocks
and a blinking courser that doesn't respond to anything except ctrl+alt+del
