Description

To reproduce, add something like this to /etc/fstab:

UUID="0bd52848-d2e7-40ec-9d19-d8e7d7923577" /var ext4 defaults 1 1

Then mount /var

# mount /var
mount: mounting UUID="0bd52848-d2e7-40ec-9d19-d8e7d7923577" on /var failed: No such file or directory

But using the UUID from command line works:

# mount UUID="0bd52848-d2e7-40ec-9d19-d8e7d7923577" /var

Smells like a busybox issue.

Just tried upgrading an edge box to latest edge and seem to have hit this issue. Both extlinux.conf and fstab reference the root partition by UUID on that box. On boot, get the following output:

Alpine Init 2.4.2-r1
Mounting root failed.

Followed by initramfs emergency shell.

Seems that extlinux.conf doesn't add "UUID=" before the UUID. Changing the root partition from a UUID reference to /dev/sda3 in /boot/extlinux.conf also allows boot.

This is an other issue. Please create new bug for this.

It works if no "" are in fstab.

UUID=0bd52848-d2e7-40ec-9d19-d8e7d7923577 /var ext4 defaults 1 1

I think we can close this.
