I posted on a forum a few years ago but didn't get an answer. This issue seems to occur only on ext4 systems. The problem occurs when I change any options in system -> mount points and save&apply.
Looking at "ubus monitor," it seems to be attempting to remove the system partition using mount.remove and then remount it to /mnt. Is that correct? I am not a developer, so I may not be entirely accurate. I would appreciate it if you could take a look.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem on an ext4 system through System → Mount Points and Save & Apply. Inspect the attached ubus monitor output, focusing on mount.remove and the reported attempt to remount the system partition at /mnt. Done means the system partition is not incorrectly removed or mounted at /mnt during this operation.
