The "Failed to probe for filesystem type" in my case is related to one
of my "Linux LVM" partition and AFAIK LVM is not directly mountable.

I tweaked "os-prober" to give me the partition that cannot be probe :

# os-prober 
/dev/nvme0n1p5 - Failed to probe for filesystem type

# fdisk
/dev/nvme0n1p5      1001472 1000214527 999213056 476.5G 8e Linux LVM

Find fs_type :
#. /usr/share/os-prober/common.sh
#fs_type /dev/nvme0n1p5
LVM2_member

After a discussion with cyphermox, we decided to set this to
"verificaiton-failed" and modify the src code to catch this thing that
we didn't notice before.
