Title:
  Tries to mount raid element

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  Mountall tries to mount single elements of a RAID partition. Mountall
  should read the partiton table to find out if the RAID flag is set
  before trying to mount a partition.

  Example:
  FAT on a RAID 0 on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. /dev/sda1 will have a valid FAT header as the first 64k (Or what ever the RAID is set to) is present. Mountall tries to mount and fails, this is non destructive but unnesasery. Instead mountall could read the partition table on both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and ignore the two partitions.
