IIUC, Colin said the other day this and some other "failed" messages while booting can be ignored, therefore setting priority to low and severity to minor.

This particular failed message is still there.

First cc'ing Colin, in case I misunderstood him, and then assigning to maintainer

Priority: Normal => Low
CC: (none) => mageia, marja11
Source RPM: (none) => systemd-37-17.mga2.src.rpm

I don't think this will be a problem any more now that we are using Dracut for initrd generation which has graceful handover to systemd for dealing with plymouth (i.e. the /run folder is mounted and this is checked in the plymouth unit systemd uses.

So with that in mind, I'm closing this ticket. Fee free to reopen if you still have problems with it.
