[Bug 1877861] Re: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars

[Julian Andres Klode]

Luckily the boot order is, well, ordered, so you can figure out where
the error was once you successfully booted, by looking at efibootmgr and
investigating. You need to get it booted anyway, so this hardly seems
more effort.

We could change the entry to say "ubuntu on on 512110 MB SAMSUNG
MZVLB512HAJQ-000L7" or such but that seems like it does not add much
info in the usual use cases, because well, most disks will have the same
name and size in RAID1.

Title:
  When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same
  label in the EFI vars

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I have been trying out the new facility to install grub to multiple
  efi partitions.  Both of the efi entries shown in efibootmgr have the
  same label and these are all that is shown in the boot selection menu
  on my systems making it impossible to distinguish between them.

  Each entry should be given a different label to enable choosing the
  entry required.

  I am using grub2 (2.04-1ubuntu26) on a Focal system.
