Bug#648539: grub-probe dies with SIGSEGV

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.99-13

I get several core dumps for running update-grub:

# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

/dev/md0 is a software RAID0:

# parted /dev/md0 u s p
Model: Linux Software RAID Array (md)
Disk /dev/md0: 3772800512s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start       End          Size         Type     File system     Flags
 1      2048s       67108863s    67106816s    primary  ext4
 2      67108864s   100663295s   33554432s    primary  linux-swap(v1)
 3      100663296s  167772159s   67108864s    primary  ext4
 4      167772160s  3772800511s  3605028352s  primary  ext4


There is no such problem for regular disks, AFAICT.


Hope this helps. Regards

Harri
