[Bug 806474] Re: WARNING: bad format on line 25 of /etc/fstab

[Theodore Ts'o]

The message "WARNING: bad format..." is printed by fsck, not by e2fsck.
And fsck these days is provided by the util-linux package.  So I've
changed the package from e2fsprogs to util-linux.

I haven't been reproduce it myself, however....

** Package changed: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) => util-linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  WARNING: bad format on line 25 of /etc/fstab

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have that line in my /etc/fstab

  none /var/www/dav/Public aufs
  br:/mnt/local/archiv/Public_dav:/mnt/local/archiv/Public 0 0

  to make an archive writeable for external webdav users while not
  allowing them to modify original data. It's just an empty directory
  mounted over an archive with aufs to make it look writable.

  Works as expected, mount does not complain.

  But within the bootprocess, e2fsck complains

  WARNING: bad format on line 25 of /etc/fstab

  
  and fails. Seems as if e2fsck's idea of a correct entry somewhat differs from that of mount.
