the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.
This is Fedora 36, fully updated. What am I missing?
I would do an ls -l of the file and check the size and date.
Does it seems to be changed since the system booted?

No, it hasn't been changed, but after yet aother round of
"systemctl daemon-reload; reboot", the message finally went away.
Thanks for letting me know that what I was doing should be sufficient.
Well, it's back, and nothing I do will get rid of that message. I can run "systemd daemon-reload" for a temporary fix, but as soon as I reboot, any action such as a remount that references /etc/fstab still results in that same "systemd still uses the old version" message.
The timestamp shows that /etc/fstab has not been modified since the last several reloads. I have run "systemctl daemon-reload" many times since the last fstab modification. Do I need to cause that to be run automatically on each boot?
This is getting annoying.
And, here I am the next morning and everything is working fine with no messages.
Here's what I believe must be happening. Because this affected system is dual-boot with MS-Windows, the hardware clock is in local time. During boot, systemd must be syncing /etc/fstab before the system clock has been adjusted to UTC. My timezone offset is -5 hours, so if /etc/fstab was modified less than 5 hours before the reboot, systemd will later see it as "newer" than what it synced.
I don't fully understand what I just wrote, but that has to be the gist of what is happening.
This oddball case of a few warning messages probably isn't worth anyone's time to fix.
