Hi, Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> (2015-01-26): > partman-target (94) unstable; urgency=medium > . > [ Steve McIntyre ] > * Don't add entries for random USB media to /etc/fstab, they're not > useful. Closes: #761815 I'd like to know how that was tested. Using libvirt, importing mini.iso as a USB hard drive (appearing as /dev/sda during installation), installing on to an IDE disc (appearing as /dev/sdb), leads to the use of partman-target 94 per syslog, and yet /etc/fstab ends up containing a /media/usb0 entry: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information. | # | # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a | # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices | # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). | # | # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> | # / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation | UUID=a38aa670-fb4c-4482-8af1-42f34b41ebdb / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | # swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation | UUID=cd9c4a52-91c4-4b44-8d34-c880357974b9 none swap sw 0 0 | /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 Looking a bit more into it, I tried marking said device as removable in libvirt, but that didn't seem to make any difference. It might very well be that I've managed to make a boo-boo while trying to configure stuff, or that libvirt's support for such things is buggy; but I haven't managed to trick either kvm/qemu or virtualbox into booting from removable USB. Any hints? Mraw, KiBi.
