Comment 11 for bug 996454

Steve Valliere and I have been discussing Steve's problem on his related forum post:

I set up a test instance. Although I cannot duplicate Steve's full range of problems (which he can reliably duplicate), I can confirm that to some degree this bug causes more than mere inconvenience. Part of it is caused by an existing bug with the "mount" command, as Steve pointed out:

Unfortunately, it does not seem that the Ubuntu team can solve that specific bug, at least not alone.

However, Ubuntu is definitely in the position to solve the regression mentioned in this bug. It needs to be done! Whatever was removed in the transition to 12.04 needs to be replaced.
