FSTAB file keeps getting changed


I discovered an unexpected thing in Bedrock and was wondering if anyone could clue me in.

Here is the /etc/fstab as it is in my bedrock OS:
Code:
# /etc/fstab for bedrocked Void on vindi
#device            point  fs     options                    dmp  order
/dev/azura/vindi   / ext4 defaults,noatime 1 0
tmpfs              /tmp   tmpfs  size=4G,nodev,nosuid       0    0
tmpfs              /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,nodev,noexec       0    0
devpts             /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620           0    0
proc               /proc  proc   defaults                   0    0
/dev/azura/swappy  none   swap   sw                         0    0

/dev/azura/homie /other_home ext4 defaults,noatime 1 0
/dev/azura/sloppy /hsc ext4 defaults,noatime 1 0
/dev/azura/dawn /dawn_slash ext4 ro,defaults,noatime 1 0
/dev/azura/dusk /dusk_slash ext4 ro,defaults,noatime 1 0
/dev/azura/moon /fallback_slash ext4 ro,defaults,noatime 1 0

/dev/sr0          /mnt/cdrom0 auto noauto,user,ro           0    0
/dev/sr1          /mnt/cdrom1 auto noauto,user,ro           0    0

Compare this against the fstab in another OS on the same computer:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>    <type>   <options>          <dump>  <pass>
# breaks initrd: /dev/azura/dawn /                ext4     noatime             1     1
/dev/mapper/azura-dawn  /        ext4     noatime             1     1
/dev/azura/swappy none           swap     sw                  0     0

#/dev/fd0       /mnt/floppy      auto     noauto,owner        0     0
/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy      auto     noauto,owner        0     0
devpts          /dev/pts         devpts   gid=5,mode=620      0     0

/dev/sda1        /toy_os         auto     defaults,ro,noatime   1   5

# usb sticks, so that user can mount & unmount them...
/dev/sdb1        /mnt/sdb1       auto     noauto,user         0     0
/dev/sdb5        /mnt/sdb5       auto     noauto,user         0     0
/dev/sdc1        /mnt/sdc1       auto     noauto,user         0     0

# actual end of this file
Two point of interest. One: note how, aside from longer device names, I try to keep everything in clearly visible columns. Two: drives set to be checked at boot time by dump column being set to 1 and then the last ("pass") column set with numbers specifying the order of disk checking.

When I edit the bedrock fstab and then reboot, the spacing is reduced to single spaces, dump values are set to zero and pass set to 0 as well.

This seems to only happen on partitions that are mounted at boot time. Note the "noauto" mount point lines are not changed. Also, commented lines are left alone.

I've tried editing the /etc/hosts file to change things back but the edits get reverted on reboot.

I couldn't find any mention of this on the (bedrock) web site and I was wondering if someone could clue me in? Thank you.

Oh dear: my error: the title of this thread said hosts and I meant to type fstab. D'oh! Has been corrected now.

Yeah, that kind of confused me at first, then I saw it was for a different version and assumed it did not apply.
