[Bug 362680] Re: kubuntu 9.04RC cannot mount ext3 floppy with utf8 mount option

[Phillip Susi]

It doesn't work for me either way and it seems to be because ext2 does
not support a "utf8" option.  Are you still able to reproduce this?

Title:
  kubuntu 9.04RC cannot mount  ext3 floppy with utf8 mount option

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mount

  Kubuntu  alt installation 4.15.9

  logs attached via ubuntu-bug

  The following entry in fstab
  /dev/fd0        /media/floppy  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8   0       0

  Will produce the following error message

  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,
         missing codepage or helper program, or other error
         In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
         dmesg | tail  or so

      When root or any user tries to  mount an  ext3 filesystem by  executing the command  
       mount /media/floppy

  The following  command when issued by root
     mount /dev/fd0  /mnt
     will mount  the floppy at  /mnt   (mounts  ext3 fs  floppy)

  Altering the  fstab entry to remove the utf8 option thusly
  /dev/fd0        /media/floppy  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec  0       0

  Allows the mount command to complete w/o any errors by root
  or any user.

  /etc/filesystems does not exist but /proc/filesystems has the correct
  entries to allow mounting  ext3 fs

  The output of  fdisk /dev/fd0 is

  Command (m for help): p

  Disk /dev/fd0: 1 MB, 1474560 bytes
  2 heads, 18 sectors/track, 80 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 36 * 512 = 18432 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0x53ddc2fc

      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/fd0p1               1          80        1431   83  Linux

  
  The following is the output of the   'mount'  command after  floppy is mounted  
  with   mount  /dev/fd0  /mnt   
  mount
  /dev/sdb3 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
  tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
  udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
  fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
  lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)
  /dev/sdb10 on /usr2 type ext3 (rw)
  securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
  /dev/fd0 on /mnt type ext2 (rw)

  Here is the output of the  'mount' command after the  utf8 option
  is removed from fstab and the floppy is mounted with
  mount /media/floppy
  /dev/sdb3 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
  tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
  udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
  fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
  lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)
  /dev/sdb10 on /usr2 type ext3 (rw)
  securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
  /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy0 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=jt)

  
  I have attached the output of /proc/filesystems
