** Description changed:
/dev/mapper/vg0-rootlv is a symlink to /dev/dm-2 ("../dm-2").
When running "grub-probe -d /dev/mapper/vg0-rootlv" it results in this
error:
grub-probe: error: no such disk.
"grub-probe -d /dev/dm-2" outputs "ext2" (it is a ext4 partition).
I am attaching the strace and ltrace of these calls.
From the ltrace output it can be seen that using /dev/dm-2 goes into
calling strcmp and compares "/dev/dm-2" with itself in the end:
25675 strncmp("sd", "dm-2", 2) = 15
25675 strcmp("/dev/sda", "/dev/dm-2") = 15
25675 strcmp("/dev/sdb", "/dev/dm-2") = 15
25675 __xstat64(1, "/dev/dm-2", 0x7fffe3a77100) = 0
25675 malloc(4096) = 0x00ca5f70
25675 realpath(0x7fffe3a77e3f, 0xca5f70, 0x7fdb1e322720, 22881, 3) =
0xca5f70
25675 strncmp("sd", "dm-2", 2) = 15
25675 strcmp("/dev/sda", "/dev/dm-2") = 15
25675 strcmp("/dev/sdb", "/dev/dm-2") = 15
25675 strlen("/dev/dm-2") = 9
25675 malloc(10) = 0x00ca4cd0
25675 malloc(4096) = 0x00ca6f80
25675 realpath(0x7fffe3a77e3f, 0xca6f80, 0x7fdb1e322720, 18769, 3) =
0xca6f80
25675 strncmp("sd", "dm-2", 2) = 15
25675 vasprintf(0x7fffe3a77008, 0x43dec1, 0x7fffe3a76ff0, 0x43cc39, 3) = 9
25675 malloc(16) = 0x00ca4b60
25675 malloc(64) = 0x00ca4b80
25675 malloc(10) = 0x00ca4bd0
25675 dcgettext(0, 0x439b92, 5, 10, 2) = 0x439b92
25675 dcgettext(0, 0x43a154, 5, 0, 109) = 0x43a154
25675 dcgettext(0, 0x43a51e, 5, 9, 0) = 0x43a51e
25675 strcmp("hd0", "/dev/dm-2") = 57
25675 strcmp("hd1", "/dev/dm-2") = 57
25675 strcmp("/dev/dm-2", "/dev/dm-2") = 0
While when using /dev/mapper/vg0-rootlv it looks different after the
first line "strncmp(sd, dm-2").

Title:
grub-probe fails with "no such disk" when using
/dev/mapper/vg0-rootlv, but now with /dev/dm-2 (which should be the
same)
