* Make 'grub-mkconfig' command name configurable - Use 'grub-mkconfig' as the default - Note that some systems use 'grub2-mkconfig' - Update 10-update_grub.conf to use the configurable grub directory name - Refactor the systemd commands for clarity and to avoid duplicate regeneration on first run * Update check_uuid_required() to work for partial regeneration of the GRUB menu

Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in grub.cfg , which ensures a very easy rollback.

How to customize it:
You have the possibility to modify many parameters. Add this lines to /etc/default/grub:
-
GRUB_BTRFS_SUBMENUNAME="Arch Linux Snapshots"
(Name menu appearing in grub.)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_PREFIXENTRY="Snapshot:"
(Add a name ahead your snapshots entries.)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_DISPLAY_PATH_SNAPSHOT="true"
(Show full path snapshot or only name, weird reaction with snapper)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_TITLE_FORMAT="p/d/n"
(Custom title, shows/hides p"prefix" d"date" n"name" in grub-menu, separator "/", custom order available)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_NKERNEL=("kernel-custom")
(Use it only if you have a custom kernel name)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_NINIT=("initramfs-custom.img" "initrd.img-custom")
(Use it only if you have a custom initramfs name)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_INTEL_UCODE=("intel-ucode.img")
(Use it only if you have custom intel-ucode)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_LIMIT="50"
(Limit the number of snapshots populated in the GRUB menu.)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_SUBVOLUME_SORT="descending"
(Sort the found subvolumes by newest first ("descending") or oldest first ("ascending"). If "ascending" is chosen then the $GRUB_BTRFS_LIMIT oldest subvolumes will populate the menu.)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_SHOW_SNAPSHOTS_FOUND="true"
(Show snapshots found during run "grub-mkconfig")
-
GRUB_BTRFS_SHOW_TOTAL_SNAPSHOTS_FOUND="true"
(Show Total number of snapshots found during run "grub-mkconfig")
-
GRUB_BTRFS_IGNORE_SPECIFIC_PATH=("var/lib/docker")
(Ignore specific path during run "grub-mkconfig")
-
GRUB_BTRFS_SNAPPER_CONFIG="root"
(Snapper's config name to use)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_DISABLE="true"
(Disable grub-btrfs)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_DIRNAME="grub"
(Name of the grub folder on /boot/)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_OVERRIDE_BOOT_PARTITION_DETECTION="false" (Change to "true" if you have a boot partition in a different subvolume)
-
GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG=grub-mkconfig
(Name or path of the 'grub-mkconfig' executable; this is 'grub2-mkconfig' on some systems)
Generate grub.cfg (on Arch linux use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg )
grub-btrfs automatically generates snapshots entries.
You will see it appear differents entries (e.g : Snapshot: 2018-01-03 15:08:41 @test1 )
Automatically update grub
If you would like grub to automatically update when Snapper timeline snapshots and cleanups occur, simply install 10-update_grub.conf in the following locations:
/etc/systemd/system/snapper-timeline.service.d//etc/systemd/system/snapper-cleanup.service.d/
Or copy grub-btrfs.path and grub-btrfs.service to /etc/systemd/system/
Once the configuration files are in place, systemctl daemon-reload should be run to reload the units and make the changes active.
