Attachments:	Output of df after rescue mounts the partitons fstab from /dev/sdb1

Description Dave Hodgins 2011-11-12 02:27:05 CET

Using the pre-release alpha 1 dvd, selecting mount partitions,
in my case it finds four root filesystems, and clearly uses the
last found, to get fstab info.

It mounts all of the partitions, except the one where it's getting the fstab
info from.

Output of df after rescue mounts the partitons

Note that /dev/sdb1 is not mounted.

Created attachment 1055 [details]
fstab from /dev/sdb1

This is clearly the fstab used by the rescue partitions mount, and all
partitions except / are mounted.

Just noticed that sda13, an ntfs partition didn't get mounted either.

This bug still applies with the alpha 2 pre-release dvd iso.

While mounting the device where the fstab is located on /mnt
(before mounting anything else found in that fstab), is the
quick fix, that should be applied before release, the proper
fix would be to generate a new dialog when more than one fstab
is found, asking the user which should be used.  In addition,
if any luks encrypted volumes are found, the user should be
asked if they want to mount them, to see if they contain an
fstab file.
