1. Upstart is not a fork of systemd, and was started a fair amount of time before systemd. 2. Ubuntu 15.04 just shipped with systemd as the default init system (although installing "upstart-sysv" the system should revert to using upstart).

Note that in the Grub boot menu you can also choose whether Ubuntu 15.04 boots with upstart or systemd. Both are functional.

Thankfully that saved me when systemd couldn't grasp the concept of a btrfs volume being spread over two disks (raid 0).

This is exactly my problem with systemd. It exposes new problems and issues while does not provide the same functionality that software it is replacing.

really? i have that exact setup except with three striped disks, it works fine

Gory details are at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/14478...

It actually mounts root correctly, but them fails to mount home which has exactly the same details except a different subvol parameter.

Systemd seems to have ongoing problems with mounting...

[rogerbinns]

In this case it would perfectly if it just tried to do the mount, exactly as written in fstab. Instead it tries to be clever and ends up outwitting itself.
