To reproduce: do a clean install of Fedora 23 Alpha RC1 Server DVD and boot it. Result: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails. Errors: ● systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - Create Volatile Files and Directories Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2015-08-05 15:43:43 CDT; 10min ago Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5) man:systemd-tmpfiles(8) Process: 672 ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove --boot --exclude-prefix=/dev (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 672 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Aug 05 15:43:43 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories...

Aug 05 15:43:43 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. This could perhaps be to do with Server using xfs for /? Proposing as a Final blocker: "All system services present after installation with one of the release-blocking package sets must start properly, unless they require hardware which is not present." - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_23_Final_Release_Criteria#System_services
This is because of XFS. Apparently every filesystem behaves differently. Downgraded to a warning in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/560.
Discussed at 2015-08-20 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-20/f23-blocker-review.2015-08-20-16.05.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion cited in description. Note: we are generally of the opinion that 'carry on failing, but call it a warning instead of an error' is not a good fix here. tmpfiles exists for a reason, it not working properly would appear to be something of a problem.
This still happens with Beta RC1 Server (DVD).
Yeah, indeed.
