This implies that we'll have to support 6 different kinds of conversions between path, drive and device, some of which might even be impossible. Besides, perhaps it'd be cleaner to split this conversion to a separate tool, so that grub-probe only operates on devices, and the other tool converts paths to devices (but NOT necessarily devices to paths!). What does everyone think about this?
Yes, it is really necessary! How about this proposal: $ grub-convert Usage: grub-convert [-d|-g] [DEVICE|DRIVE] Convert back and forth between Linux devices and GRUB drives.-d, --device=DEVICE convert DEVICE into a GRUB-drive [e.g. /dev/hda1 -> (hd0,1)] -g, --drive=DRIVE convert DRIVE into a Linux device [e.g. (hd0,1) -> /dev/hda1]
