Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
When I use UUIDs in /etc/fstab mounting during booting fails. After mounting failed, I can use manual recovery and use 'mount -a' to mount both partitions correctly (ie UUID seems to be available at that time) When I am using the device paths (/dev/sdaX) in fstab mounting does not fail. I also tried to add bootwait to the mounting flags in fstab, as suggested in #481190, but this did not affect the outcome. My partial fstab (with UUID): # /boot was on /dev/sda2 during installation UUID=8a028428-471b-4ec8-aeba-1abeb4216f95 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 # /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=760f6b92-5efc-4141-bd52-fe1dee758715 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 An without UUID (and working): # /boot was on /dev/sda2 during installation /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 # /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation /dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 blkid returns: /dev/sda2: LABEL="grub" UUID="8a028428-471b-4ec8-aeba-1abeb4216f95" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda6: UUID="760f6b92-5efc-4141-bd52-fe1dee758715" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" I attached the boot.log when booting failed and I had chosen to skip the manual recovery.
