The issue you’re encountering is due to the use of the usrquota option in the /etc/fstab entry for the tmpfs filesystem. The usrquota option is not applicable to tmpfs, which is an in-memory filesystem and does not support disk quotas. This is causing the mount process to fail with an exit code of 32, leading to a cascade of dependency failures for services that rely on the /var/volatile mount.

Here are the steps you can take to resolve this issue:

  1. Remove the usrquota Option: Edit the /etc/fstab file and remove the usrquota option from the tmpfs entry. The line should look like this:

    tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs defaults 0 0

  2. Reboot the System: After making the change, reboot the system to see if the issue is resolved.

  3. Check System Logs: If the issue persists, check the system logs for any additional error messages that might provide more insight into the problem.

  4. Manual Mount Test: You can also try manually mounting the tmpfs to /var/volatile using the command line to ensure that it mounts correctly without the usrquota option:

    mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /var/volatile

By removing the unsupported usrquota option, the tmpfs should mount correctly, and the dependent services should start without issues.
