[Bug 809221] Re: unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes

[Steve Langasek]

Thanks, I've reviewed the patch here and pushed a fix to the mountall
branch with some modifications.  We don't actually want to special-case
the 'ceph' filesystem type, the same parsing should be used for all
network filesystems.

This fix will be included in the next upload.

Title:
  unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When the mount device doesn't start with UUID= or LABEL= update_mount
  will strip the trailing slashes from the mount device name. For most
  situations this is fine but with Ceph it's quite possible that, for
  example, 192.168.0.15:/ would be an acceptable mount device but mount
  at boot fails since it passes 192.168.0.15: to mount.ceph, which then
  complains about an invalid device.

  I have attached a patch that resolves this issue. I don't know if it
  is the best way to do it but it works for me okay and shouldn't have
  an impact anywhere else.
