Improve 'search' grub-shell command with functionality to search for
a partition by PARTUUID string. This is useful for embedded systems
where FSUUID is not guaranteed to be constant, e.g. it is not preserved
between system updates, and modifying grub.cfg is undesired.

Hi,
I observed no slowdown at all with the new code.
I was thinking of the same, i.e. trying to find the device and perform a
discovery if not found but there is some sort of caching mechanism
inside Grub regarding devices which prevents Grub from working at all if
the device list already hav

Hi Vitaly,
Now that GRUB is out of a feature freeze, there's a chance this can

Found this:
[PATCH v1 2/2] core: commands: efi: add commands to get/set EFI vars
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-05/msg00027.html
But I haven't seen any discussion on whether to support get/set EFI
vars. Would it be possible to constrain the support to setting just

This patch series has been updated to reflect changes suggested by Mihai.
grub_uuidcasecmp() has been completely rewritten to basically a copy of
grub_strncasecmp() which ignores dashes. The rest is the same minus changes
needed due to rebasing onto master.

According to the LUKS specification the uuid header field is of data type
"char[]", which is defined as "a string stored as null terminated sequence
of 8-bit characters". So enforce this by adding a null byte as the last byte
of the uuid. The LUKS2 specification defers to the LUKS1 specification in
A user can now specify UUID strings with dashes, instead of having to remove
dashes. This is backwards-compatability preserving and also fixes a source
of user confusion over the inconsistency with how UUIDs are specified
between file system UUIDs and cryptomount UUIDs. Since cryptsetup, the
