Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I have installed Gutsy with an external USB drive attached, from a persistent Live USB stick, and every time, I seem to end up with unusable and confusing entries in /etc/fstab on the newly installed system.
On the box where I am writing this now, this resulted in "unable to find UUID" error at boot, dropping into a root shell where (it tells me) I'm supposed to manually repair my broken file system.
I am aware of LP bug #150872 but I didn't want to change its title to be less forgiving. If you decide this is a duplicate, please consider upping severity and putting in a catchier bug title (I happen to like mine). Thanks.
Sorry if this is not a Ubiquity bug; I can never work out which package is what when it comes to the Live CD and installer.
