Title:
  /etc/fstab modified by wrong entries

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

Bug description:
  Quantal i386

  since a couple of weeks, i've seen dialog popup warning about /dev/fd0
  tried to be mounted by the system, but failed. The strangeness is this
  desktop has not floppy hardware.

  Looking at /etc/fstab, i see new entry lines added:

  - about cd reader (was not present previously into this custom minimalistic fstab, but the hardware is connected )
  /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TSSTcorp_CDDVDW_SH-S203D /mnt/ata-TSSTcorp_CDDVDW_SH-S203D auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,noauto,x-gvfs-show 0 0

  - and that floppy ghost:
  /dev/disk/by-uuid/C45C913B5C912966 /mnt/C45C913B5C912966 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,noauto 0 0

  Even that C45C913B5C912966 is not found by blkid.

  what i can note is this parameter: x-gvfs-show , and /dev/disk/by-id
  for one, and /dev/disk/by-uuid for the other.

  Of course i've commented out these wrong entries to stop this mount
  failed loop. But i wonder which package update have automaticaly
  modified this /etc/fstab. Not sure that util-linux is to blame, maybe
  an other package is responsible.
