Public bug reported:
Recent versions of os-prober have been erroneously reporting the
component drives of a software (mdadm) array which results in grub2
adding boot entries for these drives. For example, my / filesystem is
mounted on /dev/md0 and /proc/mdstat contains:
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
24000960 blocks [2/2] [UU]
Running os-prober reports:
/dev/sda1:Ubuntu 11.10 (11.10):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sdb1:Ubuntu 11.10 (11.10):Ubuntu2:linux
The problem is a missing backslash on line 84 of /usr/bin/os-prober
which reads:
"dev="${word%%[*}"
and should instead read:
dev="${word%%\[*}"
I have confirmed that this bug is present in Ubuntu Oneiric and Precise.
