[systemd-devel] [PATCH] switch_root: do not fail, if base_filesystem_create() failed

[harald at redhat.com]

From: Harald Hoyer <harald at redhat.com>

Not all switch roots are like base_filesystem_create() wants them
to look like. They might even boot, if they are RO and don't have the FS
layout. Just ignore the error and switch_root nevertheless.

base_filesystem_create() should have logged, what went wrong.
