I've been playing with fixing Ubuntu bug 1097570; trying to debug a script we use for the EFI images which detects where to boot from based on the location of a .disk/info file.
Turns out this mostly works, except for the fact that grub appears to always list devices in a specific order, which interferes with the detection if more than one device contains that file. I think I can make this work appropriately provided we: - Use hints for search --file; - Have some value to pass to --hint= designating the boot drive. Included is a patch that adds a "bootdrive" variable alongside cmdpath; which contains just the drive designation for the boot device, to be used as such: search --set=root --hint=$bootdrive --file .disk/info I'd much appreciate review on that patch :) _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
