[Bug 1099349] Re: mountall 2.36.3 hangs in recovery-menu (lvm; mountall 2.36 has no issue)

[Margarita Manterola]

Some extra info:
 I tested recompiling the original mountall 2.36, it still worked.

 I tested this with quantal's 2.42 and 2.42ubuntu0.3.  Failed with both.
 I also tested it with raring's 2.46, and Debian's 2.46, also failed.

[I installed those versions in the precise box, I didn't do a full
quantal/raring install]

I'm going to test a full quantal install, but it looks like not only
precise is affected.

Title:
  mountall 2.36.3 hangs in recovery-menu (lvm; mountall 2.36 has no
  issue)

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Fresh Ubuntu 12.04.1 amd64 install with the following partition layout / lvm setup:
  $ lsblk 
  NAME                            MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
  sr0                              11:0    1  1024M  0 rom  
  sda                               8:0    0    20G  0 disk 
  ├─sda1                            8:1    0   243M  0 part /boot
  ├─sda2                            8:2    0     1K  0 part 
  └─sda5                            8:5    0  19.8G  0 part 
    ├─u1204--64-swap_1 (dm-0)     252:0    0  1020M  0 lvm  [SWAP]
    ├─u1204--64-root (dm-1)       252:1    0   7.6G  0 lvm  /
    └─u1204--64-usr--local (dm-2) 252:2    0  11.1G  0 lvm  /usr/local

  The installation works as expected and there are no imminent issues during normal usage.
  The issue is with the recovery menu. If someone boots into a rescue entry in the boot menu the rescue menu appears as expected but all entries that remount the root volume rw will hang on mountall.
