Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Sekletar 2023-03-21 12:23:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Users are advised to reload systemd whenever the /etc/fstab is edited so that systemd mount units that correspond to lines in /etc/fstab are regenerated by the systemd-fstab-generator. mount utility should remind users to do that in case they forgot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.37.4-10.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir -p /tmp/testmnt
2. echo 'tmpfs /tmp/testmnt tmpfs defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
3. mount -a -t tmpfs

Actual results:
tmpfs is mounted in /tmp/testmnt, but no hint is printed.

Expected results:
tmpfs is mounted in /tmp/testmnt, but following hint is printed.

mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses                                                                                                    
       the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.
