clone 417407 -1 reassign -1 util-linux retitle -1 util-linux: wish there was a blockdev-udeb severity -1 wishlist reassign 417407 os-prober tags 417407 +patch retitle 417407 os-prober: protect partitions with "blockdev --setro" when available thanks
Attached is a patch to os-prober to: (1) make it ignore active swap [Changes in: os-prober/os-prober] (2) if blockdev is available then use it to set partitions read-only before mounting to work arround a "feature" of ext3 and possible other journaled filesystems! [Changes in: os-prober/os-probes/common/50mounted-tests] I do not claim to have tested the patch. I have tried to write the patch so that (2) does nothing if blockdev is not there... Perhaps this means the deb should recommend util-linux while the udeb could require blockdev-udeb? I have cloned this bug as a wishlist against util-linux requesting a blockdev-udeb.
