Bug#995063: os-prober fails to detect partition when the device name is a substring of another device
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.77
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
My system has another linux install located on /dev/sde1, which os-prober should detect
There is also a /dev/sde127 which is part of a raid array
In this case, os-prober line 141 incorrectly believes that /dev/sde1 is part of a raid array, because
grep -q "^/dev/sde1" $OS_PROBER_TMP/raided-map
returns true as it matches the /dev/sde127 line.
This can be fixed by changing the line to read
if grep -q "^$mapped\$" "$OS_PROBER_TMP/raided-map" ; then
Thanks
