13 No, I'm not at all sure. Since you mentioned in your first mail that
14 this is normal when using "systemd", I did not pursue this route any

17 I'll search the web for "fs.protected_regular" to get a feeling for the
18 consequences and then perhaps set this when I'll again boot kernel vers-
19 ion 5.15.26.

21 Thanks for being persistent :-)
