Howdy,
As some may recall, I use external drives as backups. They are

does it more often than not. It's getting annoying.
Drive one. It's a 6TB drive

On a UEFI-only desktop PC?

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

I gave up on the grub2 auto-magical config system many years ago. My
