[Bug 1600525] Re: systemd fails to mount on startup via /etc/fstab

[Schiggn]

Update:

systemd creates missing mount points! So there could NOT be an error
message.

This error is depending on the encryptet home-folder via encryptfs.

Steps to reproduce:
* Install 16.04 with encrypted home-folder
* edit /etc/fstab with an entry like UUID=[UUIDofPartition] /home/FIRSTUSER/lalala ext4 defaults 0 0
* do NOT create the directory lalala
* add a second admin-user (sudo usermod -aG SECONDUSER sudo)
* reboot
* Login with second user
* look at ls -lha /home/FIRSTUSER/
* You'll find the directory lalala.
* Login with first user. There's no directory lalala in the encrypted home

  Problem is, that systemd is mounting correctly with no errors, but the
  folder is still empty.

  sudo mount -a results in an "/home/schiggn/Daten      : already
  mounted"

  a manually "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /home/schiggn/Daten" works as
  expected and the files are shown.

  Can you please help me how to track this?
