Read-only filesystem after CentOS 7.4 update and reboot

I just replicated the issue.

The problem seems bound to filesystem options (acl and xattr) enabled by nethserver-samba.
These options are useful only when using EXT4, since XFS already have them enabled by default.

The mount fails only with kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64. I’ve read all the docs and RPM changelog but I can’t figure out what is the cause. Also kernel behavior isn’t supposed to change for all RHEL 7.x life cycle :frowning:

The workaround is this one:

  1. Reboot with a working kernel ( 3.10.0-514-*). You can verify the running kernel using uname -r

  2. Execute:

config setprop fstab / defaults
signal-event fstab-update 
  1. Reboot with the new kernel

I will try to write down a NethServer issue with a fix, then I will report it to the main thread.
