Public bug reported: Ubiquity creates the ESP line in /etc/fstab in a way that conflicts with the description of the /etc/fstab in the man page for fstab.
The 16th paragraph in the man page for fstab describes fs_passno. It is supposed to be 1 for the root filesystem, 2 for all other filesystems which are to have fsck run on them, and 0 for all other mounts for which fsck is not to be run. However, Ubiquity uses fs_passno 1 for the ESP line in fstab. Eg, after installing Ubuntu on a UEFI system, the fstab file looks like: UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1 According to the fstab manpage, it should be: UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 2 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326978 Title: Ubiquity uses fs_passno "1" for the ESP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1326978/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
