I forgot it :) most likely it was performed by linode automation at least what I'm seeing now confirms that (both files were modified together): $ stat /etc/inittab /etc/fstab File: '/etc/inittab' Size: 1937 Blocks: 4 IO Block: 1024 regular file Device: 800h/2048d Inode: 102725 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Modify: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Change: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Birth: - File: '/etc/fstab' Size: 1066 Blocks: 4 IO Block: 1024 regular file Device: 800h/2048d Inode: 102672 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Modify: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Change: 2017-09-11 23:46:24.000000000 +0300 Birth: - anyway I kept that in mind when preparing myself to switch to KVM: the configuration is unusual - 64bit kernel (supplied by linode) and 32bit userspace (minimalistic gentoo with very few packages and default x86 profile)
