Let's break down each one:1. `/run/fail2ban(/.*)?`:- This regular expression matches paths that start with `/run/fail2ban/` followed by zero or more characters (`.*`) and optionally followed by a forward slash and zero or more characters (`(/.*)?`). Essentially, it matches paths like `/run/fail2ban`, `/run/fail2ban/`, and any subdirectories and files within `/run/fail2ban`.2. `/run/fail2ban.*`:- This regular expression matches paths that start with `/run/fail2ban` followed by zero or more characters (`.*`). It doesn't specify any specific structure beyond `/run/fail2ban`, so it matches paths like `/run/fail2ban`, `/run/fail2ban.log`, `/run/fail2ban/somefile`, etc. It doesn't specifically include subdirectories like the previous expression.In summary, the first expression is more specific, including subdirectories under `/run/fail2ban`, while the second expression is more general, matching any path that starts with `/run/fail2ban`.--- It doesn't look like it would make a difference for the specific issue...
