While it is perhaps the case (as is argued in 428318) that blkid cannot be expected to be omniscient and choose the correct signature, the reality is that this is a regression in functionality and telling people to reformat is not really very good.
Perhaps it would therefore be useful for do-release-upgrade to perform a quick test to see if the mounted filesystems have ambivalent results with a new blkid and if so either refuse to upgrade until the user has fixed the situation, or if we have a high degree of trust in the tools, remove the signatures which don't match the filesystem type which the partition is actually mounted as. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837946 Title: Lucid cannot boot from filesystems with multiple signatures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/837946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
