The program "makeboot.sh" is actually a legacy program. For the uEFI
system nowadays normally it's no need to use it anymore.
Of course we can improve it by check /proc/partitions to see if the
partition exists.
Normally it's better to run syslinux/extlinux in the partition which is
not mounted. That's why it's not check with the file /proc/mounts.
In addition, the function is_function is to check if the device name is
really a partition because syslinux will only work when it's a
partition, not a whole disk (e.g., /dev/sda).

Hi,
Clonezilla version: clonezilla-live-20251203-questing-amd64.zip
Script makeboot.sh
Function is_partition
The function does NOT check for existence of a partition.
e.g for a device device sda with partitions sda1 and sda2,
is_partition /dev/sda2025 returns true.
Is this intended behaviour or is it a bug?
Further on in the script you check for existence against /proc/mounts.
Why not do that in the function is_partition?
