URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44129> Summary: [grub-mkconfig] two additional command line parameters and new env var Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: indaril_shpritz Submitted on: Fri 30 Jan 2015 01:56:06 AM GMT Category: Configuration Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Feature Request Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: address@hidden Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: Git master Reproducibility: None Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I propose to implement 2 new command line parameters for grub-mkconfig: --boot-directory=/mnt/crossdev/boot for searching kernels there --target-device=/deb/sdb for restricting list of partitions from os-prober only to this device see also http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/181811/how-to-generate-grub-cfg-for-different-disk and one new environment variable: GRUB_OS_PROBER_DEVICE_SKIP_LIST which should work in the same way as GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST does. see http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in?id=cdae5bf208f5fa6093fa34c978c5da7b5bbafc54#n122 This new environment variable will be userful if one wants to omit the temporary rescue media with all it's partitions. The parameters also should be documented at https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Invoking-grub_002dmkconfig.html And /etc/default/grub should be appended with #GRUB_OS_PROBER_DEVICE_SKIP_LIST example _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44129> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
