If you list your volumes by UUID in /etc/fstab instead of by volume
name, mountall has no way to know which one is the right one to mount.
LVs should always be listed in /etc/fstab by name which is unique; not
by UUID, which may not be.  All of the historical scripts in Ubuntu for
transitioning /etc/fstab to UUID usage explicitly exclude LV names.

So I don't see that there's any bug here that can be fixed in mountall,
though this seems like something we should document in the release
notes.
