[Bug 1315975] Re: accent in local mounting point in fstab result with a crash of ubuntu (black screen)

[greee]

the line that crash the system was :

nas2:/volume1/media    /media/NAS2_média    nfs    soft,rw,bg    0    2

will take a picture later for the recovery mode and will add it here
(but the bug is easy to reproduce)

Title:
  accent in local mounting point in fstab result with a crash of ubuntu
  (black screen)

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

Bug description:
  Installing the new trusty thar 14.04 Ubuntu version, I've done like most people having a NAS do : I have populated /etc/fstab with some share to access on my network. I use nfs (nfs-common) in my environment.
   
  If the local directory mentioned in /etc/fstab contains accent (it's an example, i didn't test with other special character), my next boot end in crash (black screen)
  for example /mnt/café or /media/café are a very bad ideas
  (I'm french, sorry, this is why I usually use accent in directory label)

  In a recovery session, it ends with a strange message telling the
  system can not locate my main disk /dev/sdax (which is a false error
  message) and then give me a prompt on busybox (that doesn't help me a
  lot...)

  I think a correct way will be to end the mount in progress, telling it
  doesn't work for a reason or another, and then go to next line of
  /etc/fstab

  (I've turn around this bug during 4 days before I understand what
  happens... the same error occurs in other flavours like xubuntu or
  kubuntu, and install ubuntu about 10 times before manage to going
  through...grrrr)
