Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: os-prober
installed grub2 (grub-pc), original grub would detect the recovery
partition as "Recovery"
os-prober is used to discover names and volumes for grub 2, and /usr/lib
/os-probes/mounted/30utility doesn't detect the recovery partition due
to the order the scripts run in, so it shows up as 2 windows
installations
also its an ntfs partition, which if it were done in the right order,
30utility would ignore, allowing ntfs and looking for protect.ed would
probably do the trick, those files are related to the "warning!"
dialogue that you see in windows if you look at the volume, heres some
info:
