Bug#247439: wrong fstab generated at installation time

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Package: install
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've installed sarge yesterday from beta4 (and already submitted an
installation report). Now I've found another problem about the generated
fstab: it isn't ordered correctly.

In particular at installation time I choose to have a partition for /home
and two other for /home/students and /home/staff (I'm doing this
installation for a school). 

The resulting fstab had the second two before "/home" itself, thus
causing mount to complain that their mount moint was non-existent and
actually not mounting them.

This may depend on the fact that /home resides on the second raid disc
provided by the controller (/dev/cciss/c0d1) while the other two reside 
on the first one (/dev/cciss/c0d0) (or, at installation time 
/dev/cciss/disc1 and /dev/cciss/disc0)

Anyway the installer component that generates the fstab should take care
that the order respects the filesystem hierarchy, before anything else!

Thanks,

Guido
