/etc/fstab modified by wrong entries

Quantal i386

since a couple of weeks, i've seen dialog popup warning about /dev/fd0 tried to be mounted by the system, but failed. The strangeness is this desktop has not floppy hardware.

Looking at /etc/fstab, i see new entry lines added:

- about cd reader (was not present previously into this custom minimalistic fstab, but the hardware is connected )
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TSSTcorp_CDDVDW_SH-S203D /mnt/ata-TSSTcorp_CDDVDW_SH-S203D auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,noauto,x-gvfs-show 0 0

- and that floppy ghost:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/C45C913B5C912966 /mnt/C45C913B5C912966 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,noauto 0 0

Even that C45C913B5C912966 is not found by blkid.

what i can note is this parameter: x-gvfs-show , and /dev/disk/by-id for one, and /dev/disk/by-uuid for the other.

Of course i've commented out these wrong entries to stop this mount failed loop. But i wonder which package update have automaticaly modified this /etc/fstab. Not sure that util-linux is to blame, maybe an other package is responsible.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please go into your bios and make sure it is not configured to have a floppy.

Also I'm not sure why you think that /dev/disk/by-uuid/C45C913B5C912966 would be the floppy. If you don't have one, then it can't have any UUID.

Closing for now, that bios change (reset) itself its settings.
