[Bug 692193] Re: When it can't mount a partition it should state the mount point/use

[Steve Langasek]

mountall in fact uses this macro for the name to show in this error:
#define MOUNT_NAME(_mnt) (strcmp ((_mnt)->type, "swap")                 \
                          && strcmp ((_mnt)->mountpoint, "none")        \
                          ? (_mnt)->mountpoint : (_mnt)->device)

So if a mount point is known, it's displayed.  Are you seeing this for
cases *other* than swap devices?

Title:
  When it can't mount a partition it should state the mount point/use

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  When mountall fails to find a partition we get a message of the form:

  'The disk drive for UUID=xxxxx is not ready yet or not present.
  Continue to wait or Press S...'

  I certainly don't remember the UUIDs for my partitions so it's difficult at that point to make
  a sane decision.  It would be better to say 'The disk drive for swap (UUID=....) is not ready yet'
  or 'The disk drive for /usr (UUID=....) is not ready yet.
