[systemd-devel] fstab generator/capture.mount randomly fails which depend of cryptsetup.target

[Sumit Kumar]

Hi Lennart,
Thanks for the reply.

System is not always going in emergency mode, sometimes it boots
successfully.
But when the system goes in emergency mode we can see this unit is masked.
We are not masking the cryptsetup.target file.

Regards,
Sumit Kumar
