Public bug reported:

When I reboot, my /etc/fstab is changed to a non-working configuration.

I am using Hardy 64 and I have three hard drives. The first is a 160GB
SATA for Windows, the second is a 320GB SATA for Ubuntu, and the third
is a 40GB IDE for my music.

Here is how I mounted the Windows and Music drives in my fstab:

/dev/sda1   /media/sdb1   ntfs-3g   defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0   0
/dev/sdc1   /home/jeremy/Music   ntfs-3g   defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0   0

When I reboot, those two lines change to this (which is wrong):

/dev/sdb1   /media/sdb1   ntfs-3g   defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0   0
/dev/sda1   /home/jeremy/Music   ntfs-3g   defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0   0

Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l:
