I somewhat agree with your point... BUT ubuntu is a defined base. It has its device mapper stuff in /dev/mapper (which does not exist if you do not use it!). So for a ubuntu install script it is safe to assume that partitions that start with /dev/mapper are device mapper based and not to be touched.
Of course you can map /dev/mapper to something different as system administrator, but then you are on your own and can not expect ubuntu to do a sensible thing. I do think that changing something fundamental as /etc/fstab needs to give some warning to the system administrator... and indeed that was given (or I would not had the opportunity to fix this issue before rebooting;-). -- No need to convert LVM volumes to UUIDs https://launchpad.net/bugs/54002 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
