NethServer Version: 7.4
Module: updates

These don’t seem to cause any issues, but thought I would pass them on:

I couldn’t reproduce it or find it my logs, do you have some special fstab config?

config show fstab

3 
[root@Nethserver ~]# config show fstab
fstab=configuration
    /=defaults
[root@Nethserver ~]#

And my /etc/fstab at the point the update was run:

[root@Nethserver ~]# cat /etc/fstab

Cheers.

Can you reproduce it with expand-template /etc/fstab ?

5

Nope, that doesn’t throw any warnings/errors.

Cheers.

:thinking: we could remove the /etc/fstab template, as the default xfs filesystem has posix ACL support integrated. Those that still want ext4 can edit the file by hand… /CC @dev_team

I totally agree: removing old code is always fun! :smiley:
