 |
|
Hi,
since very recently the command
| Code: | | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg |
hangs after a short moment. htop reveals that
| Code: | | mount -o ro -t reiserfs /dev/sda3 /var/lib/os-prober/mount cpu |
is using 100% CPU and it cannot be killed. Here is the partition table of /dev/sda:
| Quote: | Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf15f6859
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 109563299 54781618+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 109563300 109643624 40162+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 1643753472 1953523711 154885120 5 Extended
/dev/sda4 109643776 1643753471 767054848 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 1643755520 1660532735 8388608 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 1660534784 1953523711 146494464 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

So /dev/sda3 is an extended partition and should not be checked. The only workaround I found is to explicitly forbid os-prober to check this partition (see link). I believe the problem exists since I have reiserfs support in my kernel. Does anyone know about this problem? Is it a bug of grub2 or a gentoo-specific problem?
Many thanks! |

Yes, I know about this problem cause I've encountered it.
