[Bug 905607] Re: software raid component drives erroneously detected

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package os-prober - 1.61ubuntu1

---------------
os-prober (1.61ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Mount btrfs subvolume @ when present to access a btrfs formatted
      rootfs.
    - When called with WINOSDATA, return the list of Windows partitions
      containing the system instead of only listing these containing the
      bootrecord.

os-prober (1.61) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add an extra backslash to the code in parse_proc_mdstat to remove [...],
    so that it works properly in dash (thanks, John Ryan; LP: #905607).

os-prober (1.60) unstable; urgency=low

  * os-probes/mounted/x86/05efi: Handle the case where we used grub-mount to
    mount the EFI System Partition.

Title:
  software raid component drives erroneously detected

Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.

  John
