[Bug 612249] [NEW] Wrong error when mounting vfat filesystem with invalid mount option

[Chris Sherlock]

Public bug reported:

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.
