If I boot into CentOS on my home server from a Live CD or USB stick and go to Troubleshoot, it lists OS's it finds on the machine. How does it find these OS's? Presumably it looks through all the partitions on all the hard disks for something that looks like an OS? But how exactly does it identify an OS?
I know that in el7, grub2 uses os-prober (http://joeyh.name/code/os-prober/), which is probably what it uses in the LiveCD.
