Title:
  Fedora partition needs to be mounted for an update-grub to discover it

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I installed Fedora 18 beta in a separate partition beside Ubuntu 12.10
  and Win7. As Fedora also installed a bootloader, I used boot-repair in
  Ubuntu to have it set back to grub2.

  In Ubuntu, the Fedora partition is usually not mounted. When I do an
  update-grub or when this is done during ubuntu updates because a new
  kernel is availabe, I lose the Fedora entries. I need to mount Fedora
  partition manually, then update-grub to recover them.

  Other Linux distros in different partitions should be discovered
  without having to mount the partitions.
