Sorry, I got confused. The generic linux-device / grub-drive conversion tool is no problem. I think it's fine to add it. The problem is if you need grub-probe to work with an input different than a filesystem path. If you want the former, feel free to send a patch to grub-devel. For the latter, look at my questions and send some feedback. Or, if nobody wants to send feedback, I guess I'll have to propose something myself. But I prefer if this is discussed (given that we have time). -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
