Bug#780545: os-prober looping with formated partitions without OS
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.65
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
When installing the Jessie (netinst, amd64, 20150315) or updating GRUB in my
Dell Vostro 5470, the os-prober is looping if there are formated partitions
without an installed operational system.
I have two extra empty partitions with ReiserFS and vfat:
--- /dev/sda3
Block device, size 596 MiB (624951296 bytes)
ReiserFS file system (new 3.6 format, standard journal, starts at 64 KiB)
UUID 1D55E629-8E1D-452C-AFA2-23D45AF1DA04 (DCE, v4)
Volume size 596 MiB (624951296 bytes, 152576 blocks of 4 KiB)
--- /dev/sda4
Block device, size 461 MiB (483393536 bytes)
FAT32 file system (hints score 5 of 5)
Volume size 460.1 MiB (482430976 bytes, 117781 clusters of 4 KiB)
When I run update-grub or update-grub2, I can see in other terminal:
779 pts/0 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

1492 pts/0 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro /dev/sda3 /var/lib/os-prober/mount reiserfs
Note that the PID 1295 and 1296 are strange. To resume, I need to kill the
PID 779.
My current partitioning is:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 136718335 136716288 65,2G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 136718336 974608383 837890048 399,6G 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 974608384 975828991 1220608 596M 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 975828992 976773119 944128 461M 83 Linux
Thanks in advance.

Eriberto
