Hello All,
I am writing here, because I am unsure if this is a bug or what.
I upgraded wheezy to jessie and expirieced a hangup during update-grub.
It was caused by os-prober trying to mount an extended partition because
blkid did not recognize the partition as such.
This mount could of course not go well and I was not able to kill it...
Now, trying to figure out what the problem is, I checked the partition
the mount was stuck in.
It is an extended partition, containing a lvm-system.
runng blkid on its own:
sudo blkid /dev/sda2
/dev/sda2: PTTYPE="dos" PARTUUID="44fb778d-02"
echo $?
0
so why is there a PTTYPE="dos" on the extended partition.
The partition was created in 2007 by the debian etch installer, I
upgraded the system henceforth
GParted detects the partition correclty as extended partition and before
that I did not expierence any issues with this partition, nor did I make
any changes to it (as far as I know)
On my other system blkid gives correctly an error 2 when accessing an
extended partition.
Help and advise is greatly appreciated,
EPSG
