Hi Gene,

This was found on Fedora 18.
Both os-prober and linux-boot-prober do not support root, boot, or
root+boot on a btrfs subvolume.
thanks for the patch; I'm afraid it's too huge for us to review/merge
at this late stage of the release cycle; it should be considered
during the jessie release cycle instead.
Do you think it would be OK to already commit this is the master
branch so that these important contributions are not simply forgotten
when we really start working on jessie (in a year or so...:-( ).
Of course, if we do this, we fork a wheezy branch "just in case".
Yes, the patch for btrfs support is large but these have been integrated
into the Fedora package os-prober-1.57 which is in the staging process
for both Fedora 17 and Fedora 18. Therefore, they will get a lot of
testing "real soon now."
To actually exploit the btrfs support, grub2 needs two additional small
patches (one for basic support and the other for a btrfs volume on
multiple devices). The grub2 patches have been forward upstream as well
as reported to Fedora.
