Fix for Debian Bug#574863: boot failure with lvm2 and snapshot volumes
okay, I think the attached patch should fix the problem.
I haven't tested it thoroughly, though my system does boot. It seems there may be a seperate issue with os-prober that results in some junk entries being added to grub.conf if the snapshot volumes happen to be root filesystems, but that probably needs to be taken up seperately and the critical aspect of the bug is fixed anyway.

Description: Fix for lvm2 parsing failures with snapshot logical volumes
This patch prevents the lvm2 parsing code from prematurely aborting when encountering LV and segment metadata related to snapshot volumes. Instead, the parser will now skip over these as if it never saw them, which is probably the safest thing to do without a major injection of lvm2 support code.

PATCH 1/1 Updated fix for Debian Bug#574863: boot failure with lvm2 and snapshot volumes
and here is a slightly updated patch. there is no functional change in the code, i have only reformatted the whitespace etc so that the code matches with the style of the surrounding code.
i have also tested this now on my primary testing system and haven't noticed any problems.

I've cleaned up your patch using my more generic string parsing functions. Could you test attached patch?
i read over the patch and it looks good. i've just tested the patch and grub-install, grub-mkconfig, and all the underlying calls to grub-probe work without problem, and the system happily boots with active lvm snapshots. so i think the patch is good from a testing perspective too.
