Package: mount
Version: 2.12-7
Severity: normal
I'm using updfstab, which is in the debian package "kudzu", called from
hotplugs usb.agent script to update my fstab file whenever I plug in a usb
memory device. Updfstab adds the option "kudzu" to the fstab entry so that it
knows which lines were added by itself and it doesn't remove lines it didn't
add. Here is what it is adding for my digital camera:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
However, when I try to mount it I get:
# mount /mnt/camera
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
#
This error message is very misleading, which I think is related to bug #154978
If I remove the "kudzu" option from the fstab entry, it mounts
sucsessfuly without complaint, so it's not a problem with mount knowing
what file system it is (vfat).
It seems as though mount is simply confused by the "kudzu" mount option.
This can be reproduced without touching the fstab file by simply...:
# mount -t auto -o noauto,owner,kudzu /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Notice what happens if I tell it specificly that the fstype is vfat:
# mount -t vfat -o noauto,owner,kudzu /dev/sda1
/mnt/camera
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
But if I remove the kudzu option...:
# mount -t auto -o noauto,owner /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
#
.... it mounts fine.

Dear bug reporter,;)
kudzu is not buildable anymore and is already removed from etch/testing.
Nobody seems to care about the package. I asked the pkg-knoppix people on alioth
but it doesn't seems to be an active project.
The main reason for packaging the kudzu hardware detection was to have it
packaged
for knoppix. But they are still using their own kudzu build.:(

Aside from that... what are you using kudzu for? You shouldn't. (it basically
is sticking around in RH/Fedora until the installer can be ported away
from it.)

Thats why kudzu will be removed from Debian.
I'm closing all kudzu bugs.
Thanks from the kudzu maintainer.
