Bug#511518: os-prober: probes extended and swap partitions
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.28
Severity: normal
On my machine os-prober probes also extended and swap partitions leading
to quite a bunch of kernel failure messages about the various filesystems
not being able to mount the partitions. Shouldn't the partition type
be considered first?
The layout is as follows:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda3 1 24321 195358401 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1 243 1951834+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6 244 9969 78124063+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 9970 24321 115282408+ 83 Linux
