This error is preventing NFS mounts in /etc/fstab; without a workaround or fix this prevents any deployment of Ubuntu 10.04 for us. I filed a bug report but thought best to ask the list as well <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/537746">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/537746</a> Thanks R.Parr, RHCE, Temporal Arts </body> </html>
