At least one entry for a root directory is wrong, since both are using
the same UUID. It's probably the one for Mantic, since an gvfs option
does name it Jammy.

I'm not surprised that the correct root directory is mounted anyway,
since the boot loader might point to the correct root directory and we 
have systemd-fstab-generator and native systemd units that might mount
devices that aren't listed in fstab.

New to me is a fstab tainted with gvfs related options.

I recommend as a first step to tidy up your install. IOW ensure that you
either use systemd units only or fstab entries only and don't use
anything else to mount.

It also doesn't surprise me that some BSD users laugh at Linux
distributions.
