[Bug 810700] Re: Oneiric Installer crashes "OSError: [Errno 21]"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package partman-target - 73ubuntu1

---------------
partman-target (73ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Disable automatic mounting of USB removable devices.
    - Mount floppies with 'exec' and 'utf8'.
    - Use the path of the file associated with a loop device in /etc/fstab,
      rather than the filesystem's UUID or the loop device path.
    - Always set the loop option for loop devices.
    - Remove critical system files from the existing filesystem before
      installing.
    - Preserve the UID and GID of the initial user, if possible.  Requires a
      patch to user-setup.
    - Check that all system partitions are formatted.
    - Stop adding removable devices to /etc/fstab, now that apt knows how to
      find CD-ROM devices using libudev.
    - Mount /proc with nodev,noexec,nosuid.
    - Notify user-setup if there is an encrypted home partition present.
  * Stop creating /var/run and /var/lock on the root filesystem, now that
    Oneiric has migrated these to being symlinks into /run (LP: #810700).

partman-target (72) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Point users to blkid instead of non-existing vol_id (on the
    installed system) in /etc/fstab file header
    Closes: #608996

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * On kFreeBSD, mount does not follow symlinks in the mountpoint, so
    the way mount points were set up for removable media caused problems.
    So on that OS only, rather than making /media/cdrom -> /media/cdrom0,
    and putting /media/cdrom0 in /etc/fstab, instead make /media/cdrom
    a directory, and put /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab. This way¸
    "mount /media/cdrom", "mount /media/usb" etc all work, and so does
    apt-cdrom add.  Closes: #611569
    (Note that additional CD devices will be set up as /media/cdrom1, etc,
    same as before. This leads to the minor inconsistency on kFreeBSD that
    "mount /media/cdrom1" is needed for the second CD, while
    "mount /media/cdrom0" won't work for the first, but I don't
    see a way to avoid that.)
