Hi @cveilleux, @crowdmaker

Just an update on the same topic on a new different thread:

> [@Issue on Dunfell (/etc/fstab invalid entry) - fail to boot](https://hub.mender.io/t/issue-on-dunfell-etc-fstab-invalid-entry-fail-to-boot/2972/2):

> Hi @malveo, We have seen other reports of this e.g [/etc/fstab will sometimes filled with UUID-Entries (swap and boot) and will destroy upgrade/install](https://hub.mender.io/t/etc-fstab-will-sometimes-filled-with-uuid-entries-swap-and-boot-and-will-destroy-upgrade-install/2515/4). Root cause is still unclear, as this is not something that is added by meta-mender. But it is becoming a pattern, that might be worth investigating closer.

Best,  
Mauro
