[Bug 363550] [NEW] mountmanager deletes certain entries in fstab without creating a backup

[Ulrich Lukas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountmanager

Using Kubuntu 9.04 RC for AMD64, latest upgrades, mountmanager
0.2.6-0ubuntu2


With this latest version of mountmanager, I can manage the most common mount types in /etc/fstab.

But certain entries in /etc/fstab are deleted when applying the changes
/for the first time/ running the program.

No backup is created in this case, and only subsequent changes are included in the program's integrated history
(> "Tools" > "Restoration system"). There is no backup of the /original/ state of /etc/fstab.


These entries that I know of are deleted:
- NFS mount lines of the kind: "serverURL:/remoteDirectory /localDirectory  nfs  options"
- crypto mounts: "/dev/mapper/MappingName   /mountPoint   fstype   options"
- comments

Some entries are displayed in the preview section of mountmanager, but
are not saved to /etc/fstab.

I'd be happy to provide more information if needed.
