[Bug 1770093] Re: Ubiquity crashes with mount points that are FAT16/32

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Simon, I disagree with that, there is a patch and it's useful to have
sponsors visiblity on it, I'm subscribing the team back, it's not
because a patch isn't a debdiff including the packaging that it can't be
reviewed/sponsored

Title:
  Ubiquity crashes with mount points that are FAT16/32

Bug description:
  Hi, I've used ubiquity as an installer for the Raspberry Pi 2/3.  One
  of the quirks of the Pi is its need for a FAT formatted boot
  partition.  The Pi packages (flash-kernel etc) expect this to be
  mounted at /boot/firmware.  However if I give ubiquity this mount
  point then it soon crashes.

  I believe the problem is to do with the mount options that are
  automatically given to fat partitions.  I've solved this by applying a
  patch to the partman-basicfilesystems package.  Please see attached.

  I'm not sure whether this is the correct fix, or a more generic fix
  should be applied to ubiquity and FAT partitions.
