Bug#701814: os-prober: damages XFS exported via iSCSI but not mounted locally; potential data loss
Package: os-prober Version: 1.42 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss While updating the kernel on a storage server exporting a large XFS via iSCSI, os-prober tried to mount this file system.
