upgraded from 2.4.1, no issues so far, works well.  thanks!

Repartioned a HD with a single NTFS partition for LINUX, creating EXT3 partitions and SWAP. After formatting and running 'rebuildfstab' /etc/fstab still shows the old NTFS partition. I expected to see updated partitions. 'blkid' shows correct types.

roberts:
As I recall, it was setup that way so user edits to /etc/fstab defaults would presist even during a single session. It is an easy mod to start fresh each time.

I just tried with complete rebuild upon each call to rebuildfstab and it is slower to rebuild from scratch each time. Plus you lose the possible user edits.

Since repartitioning/formatting is far from usual activity than say using removable devices, I am going to leave it as it.

If you repartiton/format then safest to reboot, or manually delete the target line(s) /etc/fstab.

thanks for explanation. I expected based on the name 'rebuildfstab' that it rebuilds fstab when invoked :) Manual edit is fine however.
