I'm afraid this is too brittle: this can return true for various
reasons even if there is no "hidden" partition, e.g. a LV whose name
contains the "hidden" string.

I would try to help, but I don't know what you mean with "hidden
partitions" exactly. Could you please clarify how this translates into
non-ambiguous technical concepts?

Cheers,
