Yair Yarom, could you please take now look? Things changed since 2009, I
can't find this line.

I can't reproduce this bug. I just launched fresh virtual machine
(Stretch), removed / entry from fstab and rebooted. All went well.  Dear
submitter, could you please try to reproduce bug with modern
installation?
