Bug Description
Dapper-Edgy upgrade script which patches /etc/fstab file to insert UUIDs does so incorrectly.
Manual page for fstab(5) says UUID supported for xfs and ext[23] fs types only while script puts UUID for other filesystems like vfat. This prevents those partitions from being mounted properly after upgrade.
To post a comment you must log in.
The manpage is out of date -- UUID is supported for many different filesystems, see /usr/share/ doc/libvolume- id0/README
