Bug#754170: fails to exclude RAID members
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.58
Hello,
the os-prober fails to exclude partittions that are members of md RAID, when
dash is installed as /bin/sh.
The parse_proc_mdstat() function fails to detect them. I found the bug to
lie in line:
dev="${word%%[*}"
dash fails to strip opening square bracke to the rest of the line.
Escaping it with backslash works with both bash and dash.
Here's the patch that fixes the behaviour:
