Package: os-prober Version: 1.35 Severity: important Hi, I have a logical volume here that acts as the / filesystem of a kvm virtual machine running lenny. When I upgraded my kernel today, I noticed that os-prober (called from update-grub) does mount this volume trying to find an OS on it, without caring about the fact that this volume is already mounted in the virtual machine. The kernel then complains in dmesg that the filesystem is not clean/corrupt/etc, and I guess that under certain circumstances this could cause filesystem corruption and data loss.
It would be wiser if os-prober could check the flags of the logical volumes before mounting them. "lvs" here shows that this volume is open, so this is a hint that you could use to determine if the volume should be checked or not.
