Unhappy update-grub (grub-probe) failed by unknown filesystem.


Hi,
I have trouble.

My distribution is a Manjaro.
The problem occur at update-grub.

$ LANG=C sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for aki:
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found Intel Microcode image
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-319-x86_64

Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sdc1@/efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
/usr/bin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
[1] 21407 exit 1 LANG=C sudo update-grub

I found it on Linux 3.19 kernel installation with Manjaro20150220,
but I think maybe It has already occurred at the time of update to 20150220
because current Linux version is different from Grub menu or print message's version.

disks are:
sda: 120GB SSD : GPT/UEFI Manjaro (automatic layout)
sdb: 3TB HDD : dm-crypt(plain)
sdc: 3TB HDD : GPT/UEFI Windows 7
sdc1:: UEFI
sdc2:: Microsoft Reserved
sdc3:: NTFS(Windows system)
sdd: 3TB HDD : dm-crypt(plain)
sde: 3TB HDD : dm-crypt(plain)
sdf: 3TB HDD : dm-crypt(plain)

sd[bdef] were GPT and sd[bdef]1 were btrfs at I found this problem,
so I think this trouble isn't come from plain dm-crypt disks.

How to fix it?

Regard.

Please post fdisk -l.
Which filesystems are used on the partitions?

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry, I did not notice.

fdisk don't report right layout because all disks are GPT and all HDDs are over 2.2TB.

I asked for the filesystem type!

I assume the filesystem for /boot is brtfs, which is not supported by the grub2.
