Barry, I am not able to see any commit that went with util-linux_2.27.1-6ubuntu3.5 version. but from the testing perspective we are able to recreate the issue with the util-linux package that comes with 16.04.04.
Later we checked with upstream/util-linux_2.27.1-6ubuntu3.5 level and not able to see the issue. Hence we mirror this bug to canonical to pick or use this package for 16.04.04.

  We test what is coming along with distro. If you are not able to see issue with : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/2.27.1-6ubuntu3.5 .. can we get this included in 16.04.x train ?
