I also see this on a system upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04. I have an ssd (system/home) and two internal hard drives, one for data and one for storing backups. There are two entries in fstab as follows:
UUID=2cb4aef5-637c-44fa-b7a2-d4ba52f98545 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=de6514b0-b7a9-49ca-a7ab-c19be1431636 /media/Backup\040Drive ext4 defaults 0 2 When I boot up, I just get a black screen. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7 gets me the X console (going straight to F7 doesn't work) which shows: An error occured while mounting /media/Backup Drive. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. If I press S, booting continues ok. data is mounted as expected with owner root, Backup Drive is mounted with owner phil. (Unmounted, both /media/data and /media/Backup Drive have owner root and permissions 755). The following is shown in /var/log/boot.log (file attached): mountall: Event failed mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/Backup Drive busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/Backup Drive mountall: mount /media/Backup Drive [824] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /media/Backup Drive (If I comment out the line for Backup Drive, boot proceeds ok, it doesn't get mounted and there are no entries in boot.log). This all worked fine in 12.04. Two external drives which also have spaces in the names get mounted fine. ** Attachment added: "boot.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1059726/+attachment/3405754/+files/boot.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059726 Title: Mounting drives that have '\040' in the name in fstab throws up an error during boot.
