Comment 145 for bug 571707

Hello,

If people using a up-to-date 10.04 (or later) of stock Ubuntu are still seeing symptoms described in this bug I would STRONGLY recommend they file a new bug report. Mint users are similarly better off filing a bug report in their distribution's bug tracker as it is difficult to tell whether the exact same problems they are seeing exist in stock (updated) Ubuntu too). It possible an issue still exists in Ubtunu but if so posting to this bug report is not going to help as it has become quite long and too confused. A new bug report for Linux Mint users might serve them better.

For what it is worth, in Ubuntu 10.04 the 2.15 version of mountall resolved the problem I was seeing. I have just retested the system that showed the problem and the fix still seems to be holding. This suggests that anyone seeing the symptoms described in this bug report with a version of mountall of *2.15 or later* is almost certainly seeing a bug stemming from a different root cause and as such should definitely be reporting the issue in a different bug report (a good bug report should generally only cover one root cause so that separate issues can be closed individually).

Good luck!
