Hi,

In thinking of optimizing the number of disk operations for various operating systems deploying grub, the order of filesystems came up as a simple way to reduce the amount of processing. If, for example, GRUB2 is deployed on Solaris, and the main use-case is to boot Solaris, there there are really only 2 filesystems involed -- either UFS (via the ufs1 module) or ZFS. Currently, the fs.lst is sorted alphabetically, so those two filesystems would be the last to be probed, wasting time. Besides hand-editing the filesystem order, are there any plans to include an override or setting for "preferred" filesystems in a particular GRUB2 deployment?
