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.
Created attachment 1054 [details] 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.
Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. Assigned to the package maintainer.

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.
