Sure, we can fix grub-probe. This was already needed for something else (but I forgot what ;-)). Can you propose a CLI by which grub-probe would be told to process devices rather than mount points (in grub-devel)? The hard part here is not the code, but coming up with a consistent interface (the code is rather trivial, since the conversion operation is completely isolated). -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
