Yes this is a funny one and thanks for reporting your findings. We haven’t had any issues like this reported in this area for a bit so not really sure whats going on. I can’t match that line exactly to our current code so could your first let us know what version of Rockstor you are running.

And does it meet the Minimum system requirements.
