Bug#663600: grub-mount regressions in os-prober



Package: os-prober
Version: 1.49
Severity: normal

A while ago, os-prober was made to try to mount filesystems with
grub-mount. This means that $type cannot be used to test
the filesystem type. Various commits have been made since
to let through $type=fuse|fuseblk in various tests.

But, I've noticed that regressions still remain. These checks
always fail when grub-mount is used, assuming it can mount the listed
filesystems, because they check $type for specific values:

80minix		minix*, ext2*
90bsd-distro	ufs*
10macos6-9	hfs*, hfsplus*
10qnx		qnx4

I've starred filesystems I know grub-mount can currently mount. AFAICS,
all starred items are real regressions caused by using grub-mount.
