Hello, hopefully this is the correct mailing list...
I have noticed an odd behavior [subject] when trying to mount some ext2 disk file image
This problem probably occurs because the = character forces the mount command to interpret the path as an UUID rather than a file
Some info:
# mount -V
mount from util-linux 2.22.2 (libmount 2.22.0: debug)
I wonder, is this more of a bug or a feature? Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
Best regards,
Marek Mrva

This should be already fixed in version 2.23. Note that the mount
source has to be specified by absolute path otherwise it's still
interpreted as a tag.
(It will probably necessary to extend libblkid API and add a new
function to verify what is a valid tag.)
