Right, if it was working before and stopped working now, pointing
fingers at this point will not help the situation. Such a trivial
scenario could have been tested and fixed by the author of the code
before it was released to public. I hope this will stay as worst bug
in systemd (or triggered by systemd, however you want to put it).
Well you can't expect him to test every possible scenario (no matter
how trivial it is). I never saw an fstab with a trailing slash so I
wouldn't have though about testing it either.
