GRUB documentation states:
'GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST'
List of space-separated FS UUIDs of filesystems to be ignored from
os-prober output. For efi chainloaders it's <UUID>@<EFI FILE>
But the actual behaviour does not match this description. Setting
GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST="<UUID>"
does not ignore non-EFI boot loaders detected on filesystem <UUID>.
In order to skip non-EFI boot loaders, you must set
GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST="<UUID>@<DEVICE>"
which is both absurd (UUID and device are redundant) and wrong
(device names such as /dev/sd* may not be persistent across boots).
This patch fixes the detection of "@<EFI FILE>" in the device string
reported by os-prober.
Fixes: 55e706c9 (Add GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST to selectively skipping systems)
Note: the UUID matching regex uses word boundaries '\b' but '@' is
not a word character. As a consequence, setting
GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST="<UUID>@<ANYTHING>"
will ignore non-EFI boot loaders detected on filesystem <UUID> even
though the goal is to ignore a given EFI boot loader only.
However I think this is desirable to preserve the behaviour of
existing setups which use GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST="<UUID>@<DEVICE>".
