However, this usage is against the original meaning, thus the naming is not appropriate any longer. In addition, I don't like that we make an ad-hoc text output (the first line is a fs module name, the second line is a root device name, etc.). So I propose that we rename the utility to "grub-probe" and add some options to change the target of grub-probe. The default should be probing a fs to help people who are used to grub-probefs. Here is an example: $ grub-probe --target=fs ufs $ grub-probe ufs $ grub-probe --target=drive (hd0,1) $ grub-probe --target=device /dev/hda1 What do you think?
