Description: In chapter 8, the content on "Compressing and Deduplicating Storage with VDO" (ch08s03) seemed fine to me until I got to the ending unit lab (Lab: Implementing Advanced Storage Features). I tried the lab without looking at the solutions and I rebooted serverb before running the grading script. The solutions revealed that I needed to add x-systemd.requires=vdo.service as an option for my VDO filesystem in /etc/fstab. Failing to do this results in the machine booting to emergency.target. On an exam, a machine which fails to boot to a login prompt results in a grade of 0. Since this is such an important item, it seems like there should be an Important note about it on "Compressing and Deduplicating Storage with VDO" (ch08s03). Of course you then realized that this page doesn't discuss creating filesystems at all, much less mounting them persistently in /etc/fstab. So, should this page have more content?
