Details:
Setup:
Booting from /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 in RAID 1, no LVM (no separate /boot).
LVM for storage, made from a RAID 5 on top of sdc, sdd, sde, sdf. The raid is
the only PV in the LVM.
Depending on the versions of grub and os-prober installed, I get a different
amount of errors when running update-grub, though it prints "done" at the end
and exits with a status of 0 regardless.
Examples:
grub 1.98, os-prober 1.42 (Debian Stable)
