_______________________________________________________
Details:
Steps to reproduce:
1) establish root partition uuid of / via blkid /dev/sd<root drive><root
partition>
1) add:
GRUB_DEVICE="PARTUUID=<root partition uuid>"
to /etc/default/grub
2) grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
3) reboot
At this point further executions of grub2-mkconfig will fail with:
grub2-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of
`PARTUUID=<root_partition_uuid>'
A workaround (for this user) exists:
1) ln -s /dev/sd<root drive><root partition> "PARTUUID=<root partition uuid>"
2) grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
3) rm "PARTUUID=<root partition uuid>"
