Description Bill Klingler 2012-11-26 20:29:58 UTC

Description of problem:
Fedora Upgrade via DVD from 16 to 17 fails.  After some analysis, I found that my system had a CIFS file system in its fstab that was not mountable at the time of the upgrade. 

When I commented out the CIFS filesystem(s) from the fstab and rerun the upgrade it worked fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1- Add a CIFS file system in the /etc/fstab that is not mountable:
e.g.:
//192.168.8.33/v-drive  /v      cifs    username=vpi-us/linux,password=something   1 1

2 - When you run the upgrade it will hang/fail.
  
Actual results:
Failed Upgrade

Expected results:
Successful Upgrade

This also happens when an ISO file is specified as the device, mounted with the "loop" option. Also, I was unable to submit the bug with the built-in bug reporting system, because the reporter triggers a new exception, apparently while gathering information about the system state.

We now ignore unknown fstab entries.
