Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
grub-probe (and thus, update-grub) fails with a btrfs root, seemingly
because it can't identify the type of filesystem. Although I can
manually fix up /boot/grub/grub.cfg in order to boot (which works as
expected), lack of update-grub love is inconvenient. ;-)
j...@fehung:~$ sudo update-grub
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
j...@fehung:~$ sudo grub-probe /
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
j...@fehung:~$ mount | grep ^/
/dev/sda2 on / type btrfs (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
