Package: os-prober Version: 1.71 Severity: normal Hi,
I have a backup of the Windows installation of an old laptop on an LVM volume on a USB disk. This backup was taken by doing something along the lines of "dd if=<windows partition> of=<LVM LV>". Obviously this can never boot; Windows doesn't support LVM. However, when I have the USB disk in question connected to my laptop when I perform a kernel update, os-prober detects that Windows installation, resulting in a boot option for that Windows installation, which obviously cannot work. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages os-prober depends on: ii libc6 2.21-9 os-prober recommends no packages. os-prober suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- debsums errors found: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "nl_BE.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
