[Bug 1755863] Re: netbooting the bionic live CD over NFS goes straight to maintenance mode :

[Eric Desrochers]

By reading this article :
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems/

I really start thinking the easiest way to fix it is as describe here :

... 
/tmp as location for volatile, temporary userspace file system objects (X) 
... 
It is possible to disable the automatic mounting of some (but not all) of these file systems, if that is required. These are marked with (X) in the list above. You may disable them simply by masking them: 
systemctl mask dev-hugepages.mount 
... 

I have tested by masking "tmp.mount", but the official documentation
recommend "dev-hegepages.mount" instead.

pxe configuration line :
" 
APPEND initrd=bionic-desktop-amd64/initrd root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.100.2:/bionic-desktop-amd64 splash systemd.mask=tmp.mount systemd.debug-shell=1 systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=console console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty1 -- 
" 

I'm starting to think that this may become the final solution to the new
systemd behaviour as indicated in official documentation above and not
only a workaround.

Thoughts ?
