Dear maintainer,

hostname:/etc/xymon/misc.d# cat mount-ro
#!/bin/sh

if egrep ' ro[, ]' /proc/mounts | egrep -v '
(iso9660|nfs4?|udf|cifs|smbfs|tmpfs|proc|sysfs|squashfs) ' ; then
	exit 2
else
	echo "No filesystems mounted read-only"
fi

Would it be possible to add ramfs to the list above to ignore reporting
ramfs ro mounts?

Kind regards,

I first thought that you are talking about the filesystem stuff in
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-linux.sh, which will be much
more runtime configurable in upcoming 4.3.31 upstream version (not
released yet) via various variables in xymonclient.cfg.

But then I noticed, that you referenced /etc/xymon/misc.d/mount-ro,
which isn't part of xymon package but hobbit-plugins.
There it was fixed in version 20220406:

hobbit-plugins (20220406) unstable; urgency=medium

    [...]
    + Also ignore mounts with file system "ramfs". (Used by recent systemd
      under /run/credentials/systemd-sysusers.service.)
