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

[Tracey]

Hi Philip,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I had installed Manjaro somewhere
around May of this year using a CD image, downloaded from the website. I
used the regular graphical installer for 64-bit. It's been updated
in-place ever since. I'll be happy to provide any other information you
might need.
