Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

please read up

 bug #1012081 =
Applications in the default desktop - specifically gnome-disk-utility - depend on behaviour only introduced in util-linux 2.21+. Specifically if you select "Show in user interface" in mount options, it adds the mount option "x-gvfs-show" to the mount options in /etc/fstab. Mounting of this mount point then fails because the option is unrecognised.

in particular, comment #51 =
[...] The fstab entries done by the gnome-disk-utility v 3.10.0 which comes with 14.04.2 are still causing problems at boot.
After some try and error I found that the entry in fstab needs to be "...comment=x-gvfs-show..." as opposed to "...x-gvfs-show..." entered by the gnome-disk-utility when "Show in user interface" is checked.

Ok, so that issue is specific to trusty and resolved I current ubuntu versions which have a util-linux recent enough? (15.10 has 2.26)
