I am not able to reproduce this in 17.04, are you?

Title:
  Wrong error when mounting vfat filesystem with invalid mount option

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  /etc/fstab has the following line:

  LABEL=IAUDIO /media/audioplayer/ vfat
  uid=1000,gid=1000,noatime,nls=utf8,sync,user  0 0

  if you run:

  mount /media/audioplayer

  then it gives you the error:

  mount: can't find /media/audioplayer in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

  However, the problem is actually the nls=utf8, which vfat doesn't
  support.

  In dmesg it says:

  [11610.081002] FAT: Unrecognized mount option "nls=utf8" or missing
  value

  Is it possible to get this error corrected? It's not that it can't
  find /media/audioplayer in fstab (clearly it can), but it's an option
  issue.
