Error: Stage Configuring fstab mount: /: mount point not mounted or bad option

Warning: This post is hastily written, so take it with a grain of salt. You might end up sitting in a recovery console after doing what I describe here, but it has been tested once and worked well.

When you get this error:
Error: Stage Configuring fstab mount: /: mount point not mounted or bad option

Then you are probably reinstalling an evernode machine, and got a few screwed up settings in your fstab.

To fix that, write

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Check the comment for the first fstabb line,
(example: # / was on /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv during curtin installation /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-)

The line below that probably looks like something like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-k5FLZn8pcmVRbWb21ZtFQnBWcHPr77fmzzwJ1nR4nw45wjELvOXUXieIuXDExHvu / ext4 defaults,usrquota 0 1

You would just adjust that to the information you had above:
/ /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv / ext4 defaults 0 1


Save and exit,

write mount -a to check if it works nicely.

Reboot to double check that reboots work.

Try to install again
