This is causing grub-mkconfig to generate bogus entries in the 10_linux (os-prober?) script and screwing up my grub.cfg file. It appears that grub-probe is returning the fs type of whatever partition is marked as bootable, and not the fs type of the partition queried. r...@dogmatrix:/etc/grub.d# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda1 --target=fs ufs1 r...@dogmatrix:/etc/grub.d# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda4 --target=fs ufs1 r...@dogmatrix:/etc/grub.d# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda2 --target=fs ufs1 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-common depends on: ii base-files 5.3 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii gettext-base 0.17-10 GNU Internationalization utilities ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages grub-common recommends: ii os-prober 1.36 utility to detect other OSes on a Versions of packages grub-common suggests: pn grub-emu <none> (no description available) pn multiboot-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
