Comment 1 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-08-26 06:14:33 UTC 
Can you please add 'set -x' to /usr/lib/systemd/fedora-import-state

so it looks like this:

[lnykryn@notas ~]$ head -5  /usr/lib/systemd/fedora-import-state
#!/bin/bash
# fedora-import-state: import state files from initramfs (e.g. network config)
set -x

# copy state into root

and then reboot and send us output of journalctl -u fedora-import-state.service
Comment 2 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2016-08-30 11:41:45 UTC 
Hello,

thank you very much for the report! :)

I see the problem now. It is caused by missing "-mindepth 1" argument for the 'find' command (fedora-import-state:11).

I will create a patch and do a new release.

Best regards,

Dee'Kej

I'm really sorry but I was busy in mean time.
Good that it was possible in mean time identify the bug :)

Thx

Created attachment 1196246 [details]
do-not-try-to-create-folder-empty-name.patch

So, after looking into it more, I just can't add the '-mindepth 1' option, because then the fedora-import-state script might skip files inside the /run/initramfs/state...

Therefore, I just added a simple condition that will skip the folder creation in case the folder name string is empty.
