Please note that this appears to be broken again in Ubuntu 20.04!

Could the Ubuntu maintainers please treat this bug, which have been very negatively affecting scores of Ubuntu users a bit more seriously?

By the looks of it, the plight of 18.04 LTS users will continue in 20.04 when it comes to being able to use persistent partitions that reside on the same drive, and the inability for Ubuntu to permanently fix an issue that has already been affecting users for YEARS is going to become all the more damaging.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, understand that this issue is VERY NEGATIVELY affecting Ubuntu users! Just perform a search for "mounting /cow on /root failed" on any site such as reddit or superuser or askubuntu, if you need some convincing that this is a MAJOR BUG that needs to be properly fixed.

For crying out loud, do not let this bug, that was fixed in 19.10, resurface its ugly head again!
