linux-boot-prober (os-prober)

["The Abattoir" <the.abattoir@gmail.com>]

Hello

I'm working on something where it'd be useful to detect existing
(linux) operating systems using os-prober/linux-boot-prober. It looks
like linux-boot-prober unmounts a partition( when --mounted is used)
and remounts them. Is there a reason why it needs to remount a
partition under '/var/lib/os-prober/mount' instead of detecting where
the partition is mounted currently and run the tests from there?(hence
avoiding the unmounting)

Thanks
