Public bug reported:

Hi!

There are some usb pen drives or mobile phones which act like an usb pen drive 
(example: lg kg320s, lg chocolate, etc) but does not have a partition table on 
it. It can be mounted (as root) with the following command:
mount /dev/sda /mnt/pen

An ordinary usb pen drive has partition table and vfat partition on it, it can 
be mounted with the following command:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen

The problem, that in /etc/fstab can't be two different device with the
same path. So I /dev/sda cant be coexists with /dev/sda1.

Khiraly

ps: 
1. Im not sure is util-linux package, but since it provides the mount command I 
think it belongs to it. (what is creating /etc/fstab at installation?)
2. Its not ubuntu specific problem, every linux distribution suffers of it.

** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu)
