Unfortunately, my original report was 18 months ago against the only repo I could find at that time. Seems to be some bogus, outdated repo: https://github.com/MaddieM4/os-prober/issues/10 This is why I asked where would be the correct place to discuss this problem. > I think the original code is correct. > If the path is not found in the mounted ones it means: The boot-files are > direct on the main partition or the separat boot partition is yet not being > detected/mounted. Actually, the partition to be checked _IS_ mounted at $mtpt. But the test checks for $mtpt/boot, which happens to be /old/boot/boot in the case of the old boot partition and /old/boot for the old root partition. Thus I suspect the problem occures while checking old root partition. The problem occured during install, and removing the negation fixed the problem at that time. I'll have to do a fresh install to investigate the situation in more detail. Here's some additional context: I've set up a system with full disk encryption (including boot partitions) and two installs, like this: $ lsblk | tail -19 nvme0n1 259:0 0 1,8T 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1M 0 part ├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 128M 0 part /boot/efi ├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 1G 0 part │ └─cr-boot-1 252:2 0 1022M 0 crypt /old/boot ├─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 1G 0 part │ └─cr-boot-2 252:3 0 1022M 0 crypt /boot ├─nvme0n1p5 259:5 0 80G 0 part │ └─cr-root-1 252:5 0 80G 0 crypt /old ├─nvme0n1p6 259:6 0 80G 0 part │ └─cr-root-2 252:0 0 80G 0 crypt / ├─nvme0n1p7 259:7 0 32G 0 part │ └─cr-swap 252:1 0 32G 0 crypt [SWAP] └─nvme0n1p8 259:8 0 1,6T 0 part └─cr-m 252:4 0 1,6T 0 crypt /var/tmp /var/spool/mail /usr/local /home /m Any comments on the second one? > > Second is a missing feature.
