[Bug 982134] Re: No option to mount read/write in recovery menu

[Elfy]

Same here - and at least we'd have some idea where to go to at least
find out what we needed to do.

Given that Ubuntu has set itself up as a friendly distro for people to
move to - naming this package friendly-recovery is a bit of an oxymoron
for those people.

I can understand the reasoning behind

I can't understand the reasoning behind removing the mount drives option
from the menu.

Title:
  No option to mount read/write in recovery menu

Status in “friendly-recovery” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is no option to mount drives as read/write in the menu.

  Choosing one of clean.dpkg/fsck/grub/network gets a prompt asking if
  you wish to do so.

  Root shell gives no prompt prior to the shell.

  Xubuntu 12.04 updated.

  You can get around it by doing one of the 4 options that ask - but do
  we want people running random commands to achieve something else?
