Description

Currently supportconfig excludes commented out lines in fstab. We need to include commented out lines. Often I get a supportconfig where the customer commented out lines so a system will boot and then ask what is wrong. We cannot see the fstab to know what was commented out and what those lines contained.

Research direction

Start by locating the supportconfig logic that reads or filters /etc/fstab, then inspect how commented lines are excluded. Update the collection behavior so the complete fstab, including commented-out entries, is included in supportconfig output and verify the generated report contains those lines.
