[Bug 1059726] Re: Mounting drives that have '\040' in the name in fstab throws up an error during boot.

[Phil Hughes]

I also see this on a system upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04.

I have an ssd (system/home) and two internal hard drives, one for data
and one for storing backups. There are two entries in fstab as follows:

UUID=2cb4aef5-637c-44fa-b7a2-d4ba52f98545 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 2
UUID=de6514b0-b7a9-49ca-a7ab-c19be1431636 /media/Backup\040Drive ext4 defaults 0 2

When I boot up, I just get a black screen. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 then
Ctrl-Alt-F7 gets me the X console (going straight to F7 doesn't work)
which shows:

An error occured while mounting /media/Backup Drive.
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

If I press S, booting continues ok.

data is mounted as expected with owner root, Backup Drive is mounted
with owner phil.

(Unmounted, both /media/data and /media/Backup Drive have owner root and
permissions 755).

The following is shown in /var/log/boot.log (file attached):

mountall: Event failed
mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/Backup Drive busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/Backup Drive
mountall: mount /media/Backup Drive [824] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /media/Backup Drive

(If I comment out the line for Backup Drive, boot proceeds ok, it
doesn't get mounted and there are no entries in boot.log).

This all worked fine in 12.04.

Two external drives which also have spaces in the names get mounted
fine.

Title:
  Mounting drives that have '\040' in the name in fstab throws up an
  error during boot.

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In 12.10 my drives that are mounted in /media/Storage\0401 and
  /media/Storage\0402 produce an error message during boot. However when
  prompted to skip mounting they do mount correctly upon login. This
  happens in Kubuntu, which displays an error message, and in Gnome
  remix, which does not. However, Gnome successfully boots after
  pressing 'S', to skip mounting, twice.

  Drives that are mounted in /media/Storage, /media/Storage1 and
  /media/Storage2 work without problems.
