Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-base

Release: Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit Server

Installing from USB key caused the installer to prompt the option to unmount the USB key and install to it.
Doing so is clearly bad news, and this should not be an option, as shown in bug #276656.

This is still occurring though in the specific case where /cdrom is a loop-mount from a file on a certain filesystem, rather than being a mount of that filesystem directly.

It looks like the mount-filtering code isn't smart enough to deal with loop mounts.
