This has now been tested (twice, once from intentional shutdown and once from unexpected power loss). I did not make note of what boot-time message(s) there may or may not have been, but the mount is still in place and functioning without issues, and I don't see any new errors in e.g. dmesg. Barring reason to do otherwise, I plan to leave the patch applied until such time as something overwrites it (probably on a package upgrade). If I notice any issues, I will try to report back. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
