Package: mount Version: 2.13~rc2-5 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Everything worked fine 'til I upgraded... LABEL=foo entries can no longer be mounted; this causes the system to be wholly unusable if (say) /usr is mounted via a labelled filesystem. I've been using LABEL=foo on Debian systems since about 2003, and this is the first time I've had a problem with doing it. My fstab file looks like this:- # /etc/fstab: static file system information. LABEL=usr-src /usr/src ext3 defaults 0 6 LABEL=backups /backups ext3 defaults,ro 0 9 LABEL=/export /export ext3 defaults,ro 0 10 If I try to mout a filesystem, I get this result:- # mount /usr/src mount: special device /dev/disk/by-label/usr-src does not exist There are entries in /dev/disk/by-label for devices on /def/hda[0-9], but most of my filesystems are on LVM2 volumes (and the physical volumes are either RAID0 or RAID1 volumed managed by MD). So, whatever populates /dev/disk/by-label is not aware of (LVM2 & MD), and since mount no longer itself supports LABEL= directly, mount fails to mopunt perfectly good filesystems. This makes the system unusable.
