[Bug 1012081] Re: util-linux needs updating to 2.21+

[gouri]

(Continuing from comment above)

* (one may see that it also reproduces bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1010858 see comment 1010858#13)
* reboot. *System is now unbootable*. It stays on aubergine background, no hint.

* Rebooting in rescue mode allows to manually :
** run mount -avv
** dmesg | tail, see the problem about x-gvfs-show
** remount / read-write
** edit /etc/fstab, remove ",x-gvfs-show", save
* reboot again, problem fixed

This is a serious bug : human user does not expect to make its system
unbootable just by following graphical tools and "disabling automatic
mount option" for a data partitions (without changing any other
settings).

Title:
  util-linux needs updating to 2.21+

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “util-linux” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Applications in the default desktop - specifically gnome-disk-utility
  - depend on behaviour only introduced in util-linux 2.21+.
  Specifically if you select "Show in user interface" in mount options,
  it adds the mount option "x-gvfs-show" to the mount options in
  /etc/fstab. Mounting of this mount point then fails because the option
  is unrecognised.
