-Subject: [PATCH] core-services, shutdown.d: force legacy mount iface for
- remount
-
-With util-linux>=2.40, filesystems that do not support remounting with
-different options fail because the new kernel mount interface is used.
-This breaks booting an overlayfs (like live ISOs).
-
-By setting `LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2=always`, we force `mount(8)` to use
-the old kernel mount interface, which ignores changed options.
