Title:
Disks utility doesn't remove previous record in /etc/fstab
Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
How to reproduce:
1. delete an NTFS partition on secondary disk (rewrite with zeroes).
2. put there EXT4 partition instead.
3. reboot computer
=> ubuntu doesn't boot, allows only single-user mode.
By checking system log, I found out system was trying to mount the old
NTFS partition and hanged on it, even though that is not at all a
necessary partition. Then I checked /etc/fstab and found out the GUI
tool did NOT remove the original record, when it deleted the partition
on the drive.
By commenting it out I was able to get into the GUI again.
Ubuntu 15.10
pkg: gnome-disk-utility 3.16.2-0ubuntu2 0
The original line, that was left behind:

The new line that the tool created:
