new fstab entries appearing

so today I noticed a swap error on boot, but the swap was still being used. Knowing that I had an issue once before (when I had installed from live,persistent, usb) I checked my fstab. Here is what I found:

Code: Select all

the parts that are commented and say"Added by antiX" are new. The only change I've made in a while is that I started to run antixsnapshot but I had to quit before actually running the snapshot. Some directories were created but I did not start the iso creation process.

The extra entries come back after a reboot if I edit them out.

Any thoughts?

OK, for what it's worth, I went ahead and completed an antixsnapshot run. The duplicate fstab entries remained, but upon reboot, I deleted the duplicates and rebooted again. The extra entries did not reappear.

Were you plugging in & removing usb drives before rebooting?

nope.

the antixsnapshot did something, I assume in preperation to making the snapshot. Once I let it complete, I assume it cleaned itself up and let me put my fstab back. Its been stable since I let the antixsnapshot run complete.

I did find the problem. It was antixsnapshot. In the script in /usr/local/bin/antixsnapshot, there are changes made to the udev rules make fstab auto update at boot, suitable for live use. The rules are reverted supposed to be revert once the snapshot is complete, but if you exit at the prompt that says"Y to proceed, cntrl +c to exit" or something like that, the script ends without reverting the changes.
