No, it hasn't been changed, but after yet aother round of
"systemctl daemon-reload; reboot", the message finally went away.
Thanks for letting me know that what I was doing should be sufficient.
Well, it's back, and nothing I do will get rid of that message. I can run
"systemd daemon-reload" for a temporary fix, but as soon as I reboot, any
action such as a remount that references /etc/fstab still results in that same
"systemd still uses the old version" message.
The timestamp shows that /etc/fstab has not been modified since the last several reloads.
I have run "systemctl daemon-reload" many times since the last fstab
modification. Do I need to cause that to be run automatically on each boot?
This is getting annoying.
