*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 47046 *** Ok Colin, problem temporarily solved. Ubuntu does not like partitions to have any restrictions placed on them. As a derivative of Debian I thought that I could partition according to their plan and not simply use defaults for a more secure system. Unfortunately it would seem not. I edited my fstab file so that instead of defaults it was restricted with no-exec, no-suid & no-dev. Now it is happy. I am not sure if I am though.
