[Bug 759635] New: os-prober fails to mount UFS2 partitions

But I only have 44bsd and ufs2. Furthermore, adding support to the filesystem will only get rid of the error but is not going to output entries for FreeBSD, NetBSD or openBSD kernels.

However I did observe some issues that the patch may not be applied, would be great if you could resolve them? 1. The most serious one would be ". /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib". This makes os-prober to depend on grub2, and since grub2 has already depended (required) os-prober, this is so call "loop dependency" and is usually bad. 2. The hard coded path /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib may be changed by grub2 without any notices to any other package as it's not supposed to be used outside the scope of grub2 (it will happen in factory, as the automake upgrade forces the grub-mkconfig_lib to be installed to /usr/share.) 3. The fix should better be implemented in the "$types" matching ? types="$(fs_type "$partitions")" || types=NOT-DETECTED if [ "$types" = NOT-DETECTED ]; then ... ... + elif [ "$types" = ufs ]; then + ... + ... elif [ -z "$types" ]; then ...

You might want to take a look at the patches against version 1.52 in my home repo: https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=os-prober&project=home%3Aplease_try_again. os-prober-85bsd.patch adds detection for FreeBSD, NetBSD and openBSD kernels. os-prober-90linux-distro.patch skips ufs partitions in the last probe.

Ubuntu 11.10 uses 1.49, and I used 1.52 + my patches. Also skipping ufs partitions in this test would prevent the detection of Linux distros installed in ufs partitions... but I don't know anybody who would do that (!). Further, cases for "freebsd", "netbsd" and "openbsd" can be added in Grub2's 30_os-prober to write menu entries for these OSes. (I did and it's working). One more word about the 85*bsd probes. ID_PART_ENTRY_SCHEME is either dos or freebsd (maybe openbsd or netbsd as well - I haven't checked yet). If it is "freebsd" or something else than "dos", it is a BSD slice and should be skipped (it's not going to be booted at all). I read in 1.52 ChangeLog that code for BSD had been added and removed because it broke things. I haven't seen that code at all (I updated from 1.49 to 1.52). I might have taken a totally different approach. I ported os-prober from ArchLinux a while ago to openSUSE in my repo, as the the project didn't exist in factory. That's why I'm still using my own version - since a couple scripts I wrote depend on it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No. Mounting again within the script doesn't help since it "seems" (but is not true) that the partition which fails to mount requires a system check but is mounted read-only.

I don't have 12.3 installed anywhere. I can indeed mount both ufs1 and ufs2 slices with grub2-mount manually (under 12.2). It uses fuse instead of the ufs filesystem driver and doesn't show differences between ufs1 and ufs2. In both cases, mount will report: grub2-mount on /mnt type fuse.grub2-mount (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0) Someone has to try with os-prober, because mounting the slice is only the first step. You still have to know what to look for and where in order to detect the NetBSD or other BSD kernels and add the boot entry (which requires some code as well). On the other hand, os-prober should NOT look for Linux kernels in ufs* slices - as it used to do. I had to fix this as well.

Salut @ahlner, What you're trying to do is impossible. You're trying to mount the NetBSD primary partition (0xA9). This is not how you mount (any) BSD slice under Linux. This partition can never be mounted. It is only a "container", just like the extended partition. Many Linux tools are also buggy and see this partition while they should ignore it. The "ignore" option was even dropped in the latest mount utilities (or linux utils, or something, not sure how it is called). Thus the following trick (which I'm still using in openSUSE 12.2) won't work anymore any time soon (and probably has already stopped working under 12.3) # ignore FreeBSD primaries /dev/sda2 none ignore /dev/sda3 none ignore /dev/sdb2 none ignore /dev/sdb3 none ignore Otherwise I suggest writing udev rules to hide these partitions for a cleaner desktop. I had a discussion with an ArchLinux developper, who had a discussion with an udev developper, and I got the impression that (at least those) Linux developpers neither know nor care about those BSD primaries. I'm afraid this is just the way it is. In any case, you never mount such a partition. You can think of it as the extended partition (0x0f) in DOS/MBR partition scheme. Whether your kernel can actually read the NetBSD disklabel is another question. I'm quite sure it can read any BSD disklabel. All BSD disklabels are different and more or less compatible with each other. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For me, grub-legacy is better than grub2 for xBSD, because it knows to boot them. I ask me why, because grub2 was created from scratch. Why the team has forgot something at this time for xBSD'slices and its internal partitions.
