[Bug 809221] Re: unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes

[Tv]

mountall calls strip_slashes for the device and the mount path. For
mount path, it makes sense. For mounting /dev/sda on something, having
/dev mounted first makes sense, and I guess for that you need
strip_slashes. Perhaps the strip slashes and that part of the dependency
logic should only trigger for bind mounts or things in /dev. A simpler
check for that might be "not a remote filesystem" -- you already have
is_remote, and for remote filesystems the device just isn't a local path
ever.

Title:
  unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When the mount device doesn't start with UUID= or LABEL= update_mount
  will strip the trailing slashes from the mount device name. For most
  situations this is fine but with Ceph it's quite possible that, for
  example, 192.168.0.15:/ would be an acceptable mount device but mount
  at boot fails since it passes 192.168.0.15: to mount.ceph, which then
  complains about an invalid device.

  I have attached a patch that resolves this issue. I don't know if it
  is the best way to do it but it works for me okay and shouldn't have
  an impact anywhere else.
