Bug ID: 525880
Summary: Partitionmanager not removing fstab partition entries
with the same mount point leads to OS not booting up
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
If Partitionmanager is used to mount partitions to certain directories (e.g.
/home), it won't remove (or comment out) any other partition, or at least
sub-volume, with the same mount point from the fstab file; leading to boot
failures upon restart.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Partitionmanager, right-click a partition and edit its mount point;
mounting it to /home.
2. When done, right-click the partition again and click on mount.
3. Restart the computer.
OBSERVED RESULT
The computer fails to boot properly. Inspecting the fstab file reveals that if
a btrfs sub-volume has had the same mount point as the newly mounted partition
(this is the default in fedora), it doesn't get removed, or preferably
commented out from the fstab file; leading to 2 "partitions" having the same
/home mountpoint.
EXPECTED RESULT
Upon mounting a new partition to a directory, Partitionmanager should remove,
or preferably comment out any other fstab entries with the same mount-point.
