How much Poka reads

B2 Broad. The common content of the current and the common older versions is decoded. Some named features or versions are not, and are listed.

Confidence: medium (the reviewer read the code). Basis: Reviewed 2026-10-26: read parsers/poka-fstab/src/main.rs (149 lines) and plugin.json. No unit tests or tests/samples.rs; the corpus has no .fstab sample. Covers .fstab. The table lists every mount with spec (device, UUID, LABEL, PARTUUID or share), mount point, file-system type, options, dump and pass. Judgement: B2: every entry is shown; the gaps are limits, redaction by design and fields left raw.

What Poka does not read

  • Options are shown as written, not explained
  • Comments are skipped
  • Only the first 500 entries are listed
