Title:
  systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails on btrfs

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After update to systemd 237-3ubuntu10.9 systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
  fails with:

  Nov 21 13:44:12 node-blc49 systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories...

  This happens on btrfs root filesystems in real hardware and on our
  virtualized servers as well. 237-3ubuntu10.6 didnt show this errors
  and going back to 237-3ubuntu10 removes them as well.
