Description Ulrich Beckmann 2017-02-26 19:50:27 CET

Description of problem:
os-prober fails to recognize my btrfs installations. The system is UEFI/GPT on real hardware. There are 4 installations in logical Volumes of LVM and one in a normal partition /dev/sda8. All these installations share one issue: the default subvolume differ from the root subvolume (subvolid=5), which is the normal setup of openSUSE.

The message during grub2-mkconfig
rmdir: failed to remove '/var/lib/os-prober/mount': No such file or directory
is new and persistent.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
os-prober-1.74-2.mga6

@ Neal

Even if this package had no maintainer, assigning to you because you last touched it. I hope that's OK with you :-)

Luckily I can test os-prober-1.74-1.1.x86_64 in the same system with openSUSE. Version is Leap 42.2 and I activated the repo tumbleweed-OSS.

You see the same issue. My other btrfs installations including Mageia 6 were not found.

Thanks. So seems an upstream issue. Can someone please look for, or file, a matching bug report upstream, and then add the link to it in the See Also: field?

@Ulrich:
Neal has pushed an update to Cauldron with new patches from SuSE.
Please test.
They fix this for me in a VM :)

Comment 8 Ulrich Beckmann 2017-03-02 08:59:41 CET

Tested and works fine.
Thanks, Neal and Barry.
