[Bug 1066653] Re: "reinstall Ubuntu 12.10" on efi system fails when trying to mount /boot/efi

[Adam Stokes]

I saw this issue in saucy too, the only way I could get around it was to
manually setup a efi partition and re-format.

Title:
  "reinstall Ubuntu 12.10" on efi system fails when trying to mount
  /boot/efi

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Testing a reinstall of Ubuntu 12.10 on top of an existing 12.10
  install on my SecureBoot test hardware, I got the following error pop-
  up:

    The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in SCSI3 (0,0,0),
  partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed.

    You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu.

  At the time this prompt is shown, sda1 is mounted at /target/boot/efi.

  By this point, the install seems to have gone far enough along that
  cancelling and retrying no longer gives an option to reinstall -
  instead giving only the option to erase the disk and install.

  I'll attach a ubiquity --debug log showing this bug.
