Bug Description
17.10 & 16.04: Choosing a grub menu entry that references a parallell installed ubuntu system on a btrfs FS does not work.
I've installed neonuser (xenial based distro) in parallel to Kubuntu artful.
It's mounted via
UUID=879cfb57-
UUID=879cfb57-
Running update-grub on artful generates grub.cf entries like for the Neon User system:
..
..
with does not work.
Workaround: Edit the entry to
Boots the other ubuntu OS on the btrfs filesys.
I can reproduce the bug on two systems (desktop with xenial, laptop with artful)
The grub.cfg entry of the currently booted OS on a btrfs FS is okay. So update-grub handles
/ on btrfs okay. But os-prober on /whatever with btrfs does not.
