Bug#586203: postinst fails because of unrecognized filesystem
Package: linux-base
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: grave
My fstab had the wrong entry for / (hda1 is part of a ZFS pool, my
real / as per grub config is hde1), then postinst fails. I think it
could report gracefully that my fstab was fubar.
Note: wrong entry in fstab is quite common, ironically, because it
didn't migrate to UUID yet. I think this problem will happen lots of
times as your script migrates systems to UUID.
