[Bug 1059726] Re: Mounting drives that have '\040' in the name in fstab throws up an error during boot.

This is basically bug #1059471: the entry that gets added to
/proc/self/mountinfo doesn't match mountall's view of the mountpoint
name (because getmntent() unescapes the string), so as a result mountall
doesn't know it's mounted due to the previous bug.

Once that bug is fixed, I see that mountall adds two entries to
/etc/mtab for such filesystems (if mounted before / is mounted rw),
because it still doesn't know they're the same filesystem.  But nobody
seems to have been concerned about this issue before now; if anyone here
is, feel free to file a separate bug report for it.

Title:
  Mounting drives that have '\040' in the name in fstab throws up an
  error during boot.

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In 12.10 my drives that are mounted in /media/Storage\0401 and
  /media/Storage\0402 produce an error message during boot. However when
  prompted to skip mounting they do mount correctly upon login. This
  happens in Kubuntu, which displays an error message, and in Gnome
  remix, which does not. However, Gnome successfully boots after
  pressing 'S', to skip mounting, twice.

  Drives that are mounted in /media/Storage, /media/Storage1 and
  /media/Storage2 work without problems.
