[manjaro-dev] [Manjaro Linux Support] Manjaro setting wrong options for ext4 partitions when "default" specified in /etc/fstab

[Philip Müller]

This is my current fstab I've here on my end:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type> <options>       <dump>  <pass>
UUID=ba2e00a7-b715-40a4-922b-982f01126ae1 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=e45c64b1-018a-42f3-9ef4-1c86ddbcfa4c /home ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=fc6f8194-42d1-47a5-bd7a-7da73b0356fb / ext4 defaults 0 1

I'll check also with my virtualbox installs I did with Calamares and Thus.

>> rw,users,defaults,errors=remount-ro     0       0
