_______________________________________________________
Details:
With current trunk, grub-probe can't determine the device for the following
use case:
I have a usb stick mounted on /tmp/root I am using the command
grub-probe -v --target=device /tmp/root/boot
which returns:
cannot find a device for /tmp/root/boot (is /dev mounted?)
This works in version 1.98 where it returns /dev/sdd1.
The issue appears to have been introduced by be in
grub/grub-core/kern/emu/getroot.c:grub_guess_root_device().
This seems to be a regression introduced by revision 3214.
