Part of what makes grub-probe interesting is that it shares a lot of code with the freestanding GRUB you will run later, so when it is used during grub-install & update-grub, it is very useful to catch possible problems. I think hostfs would defeat that purpose. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
