Description of problem: When a device is declared more than one time in /etc/fstab, anaconda fails to execute, mentionning that "device is already in tree". For instance, with a /etc/fstab containing this /dev/sdb1 /media/foo vfat rw,user,noauto,owner,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/bar ntfs rw,user,noauto,owner,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 Even with 'noauto' option, Anaconda could not perform installation, as it failed trying to mount those peripherals. Commenting those unncessary lines makes Anaconda succeed performing installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Experienced on Fedora-11 pre-upgrade installation, on i386 architecture. How reproducible: 100% when unncessary lines where declared. Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to pre-upgrade 2. reboot 3. fail Actual results: GUI says "device is already in tree". Debug screen shows that "14:42:26 ERROR : Error mounting filesystem: device is already in tree" Expected results: Installation should continue ... Additional info: Quick 'n dirty fix : comment all unnecesaries entries in /etc/fstab.
