Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
find_cow_devices in scripts/
The limitation is needlessly restrictive.
There is already a FIXME in there:
if [ "${devfstype}" = "vfat" ] || [ "${devfstype}" = "ext2" ] ; then # FIXME: all supported block devices should be scanned
There is a function is_supported_fs in scripts/casper that can be used for the purpose with little/no modification.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Switch default unionfs implementation to aufs.
[ Agostino Russo ]
* Do not scan only vfat volumes when looking for cow devices (LP: #230703)
* Allow casper to use a squashfs filesystem within an arbitrary path (LP:
#230716, #207137)
