Bug Description

Binary package hint: util-linux

Natty still uses version 2.17.2. Besides lots of bug fixes (like cfdisk's ability to recognize Ubuntu's default MiB partitioning alignment [1]), version 2.19 introduced fstrim command to discard unused blocks on mounted filesystems, useful for SSD drives [2].

Such an old version like 2.17.2 complicates reporting bugs upstream [3].
