update-manager -d
It works.

Does it perform package upgrade? The comments are rather scary:

Hi, I have installed Linux mint 15 with Mint4Win as Dual boot with Windows 7.
Then upgraded it to Mint 16 and it was running fine.
But when I upgrade to Mint 17 (Qiana), after restarting the partition loop0 (or loopback0 or something like that) fails to load.
It shows an error like, Press I to ignore, S to skip or M for manual recovery.
Please tell me a way to fix this.
Or let me know if it is not possible.

Looks like my case. Are fstab and mtab replaced during upgrade?

Are fstab and mtab replaced during upgrade? You should drop Mint, they have a quite disruptive policy, but they are kinda unique in the Linux world. Better choice in the Mint world would be LMDE: http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php You simply made the wrong choice in the beginning. |

Well, it looked popular and easy. Can I upgrade my mint to lmde?

Alternatives are: Arch Linux, Debian Testing and a couple of others. Anyway, most of the release-based distribution (Mint is a special case) support upgrading, even if not rolling distributions (for example, Ubuntu). I have not much experience with Mint (none, in fact), but even in the case of a full and disruptive upgrade they should preserve your settings and documents. However, I disclaim responsibility as I don't know how it works. |

Do rolling distributions guarantee to not overwrite fstab? How mint package update differs from a rolling distro package update?

Arch Linux warns you about the conflict and installs the new files as e.g. /etc/fstab.pacnew.

Debian and Debian-based asks you to confirm file overwrite (usually, the diff is displayed too).
