Why propose these complicate solutions to a simple request ?
fix grub-mkconfig to discover images only on mounted file systems
without making any system modification using chmod or editting files.
Regards,
John.

grub2's debconf setup is already excessively cumbersome, and I'd rather
not add to it; but you can put GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in

Please add debconf option to disable os_prober

Bug description:
grub-mkconfig looks at all disks in the system and generates a huge
grub.cfg file;
It searches unmounted disks and adds everything with a /grub directory
to grub.cfg ;
By default - it should only search the current /boot partition, or
alternately add an option
that searches all mounted FS ;
IT SHOULD NOT BROWSE ALL RAW DISKS - EVEN THOSE THAT ARE NOT MOUNTED.
