We relabel teh root fs to 'root' (sans quotes).
We edit fstab accordingly.
We edit /etc/exlinux.conf accordingly.
We reboot.
And we have 4.4.3 running.
So it appears that / escaping is an issue with systemd.

Comment 2 udo 2016-08-21 05:47:43 UTC
Any updates?

Comment 3 Divya 2016-09-12 06:50:08 UTC
Hello,

Any update on this?. I too faced the issue.
Will there be a new version of migration tool. 
Please respond.

Thanks,

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The simplicity of this issue shows the way things work.

Comment 7 Michal Schmidt 2017-10-10 13:35:15 UTC
Did you really reproduce this on F26?
This looks like bug 1227537, which was fixed during F23 development.

Comment 8 udo 2017-10-10 13:44:43 UTC

> Did you really reproduce this on F26?

No, not yet as I renamed the rootfs a year ago and did not look back nor didn't I get any info about any fixes for this bug.

> This looks like bug 1227537, which was fixed during F23 development.

I will look into bug 1227537, thanks.

It looks like it is the same issue.

Comment 10 Michal Schmidt 2017-10-10 14:49:29 UTC
OK. In the future please do not change the Version field without reproducing the issue on that version.

Comment 11 udo 2017-10-10 14:54:00 UTC
When the user does not get info about any fixes then we must assume the issue is still there.
Reproducing issues takes time and can be hard to do when one worked around an issue or when the problem has negative effects.
Blindly killing bugs when an arbitrarily defined number changes, forcing us to reboot when largely seamless upgrades are possible, is not too smart

No, that's simply a wrong assumption.
Do not do that, you're only causing more confusion.

Comment 13 udo 2017-10-10 15:41:01 UTC
Have you seen my bugzilla frontpage at the times these bugs were new?
Do you know the frantic pace of Fedora releases?
So do you know what amount of work you throw t users versus a decent set of release notes per `product`?
I.e.: bugs #x, y, z fixed.
But hen of course I could have noticed in bugzilla for x, y and z.
So you imply bug fixes without an up to date bugzilla.
Why then do we have bugzilla?
