11	systemd tmpfiles unit intermittently fails on boot	vance	admin	"Approximately half the time on boot, the systemd unit which is responsible for creating directories under /run, fails.  This can cause services which rely on those directories to fail.  Typically mailman is the service affected, though not always.

{{{
$ systemctl --state=failed | cat
  UNIT                           LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
* mailman.service                loaded failed failed GNU Mailing List Manager
* systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service loaded failed failed Create Volatile Files and Directories

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
}}}

I have since rebooted the machine so that it is running correctly.  After that, no more details are available in the logs that I can find; perhaps more information can be obtained from systemd while the failure condition exists."	defect	closed	minor	server	fixed	systemd centos mailman	vance
