Hi,

I can't confirm this, neither on my server (/boot on raid1):

	root at server:~# mount | grep boot
	/dev/md1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
	root at server:~# grub-probe --verbose -d /dev/md1

	grub-probe: info: opening md/1.
	ext2

Nor on my laptop (/boot on second partition):

	root at alexander:~# mount | grep boot
	/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
	root at alexander:~# grub-probe --verbose -d /dev/sda2
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: /dev/sda2 starts from 195125490.
	grub-probe: info: opening the device hd0.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	grub-probe: info: Partition 0 starts from 63.
	grub-probe: info: Partition 1 starts from 195125490.
	grub-probe: info: opening hd0,msdos2.
	grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 195371568.
	ext2

Everything works fine here. Do you both still experience this problem
with the latest GRUB (version 1.98+20100804-4)?

Best regards
