💖 GRUB-MOUNT(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and its whole name is grub-mount. It's a little tool that takes your GRUB filesystem and lets you peek at it like it's a normal folder. Iconic behavior honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

grub-mount — export GRUB filesystem with FUSE

like, it hands your GRUB filesystem over to FUSE so you can just… look inside it. no biggie. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

grub-mount [OPTION...] IMAGE1 [IMAGE2 ...] MOUNTPOINT

so you give it one or more images, and a mountpoint at the end, and she does her thing. the OPTION... part is optional, the images are not, and the mountpoint is definitely not. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Debug tool for filesystem driver.

that's literally what it is, straight up. it's a debug tool. for the filesystem driver. no cap. 🔥

and here's the whole flag menu, every single one, don't skip a single item because they all matter:

  • -C, --crypto — Mount crypto devices. 🔐
  • -d, --debug=STRING — Set debug environment variable. (yes, it takes a STRING, feed it one)
  • -K, --zfs-key=FILE|prompt — Load zfs crypto key. you can hand it a FILE or literally type prompt and it'll ask you for it. the way that works is so fun honestly.
  • -r, --root=DEVICE_NAME — Set root device. give it a DEVICE_NAME.
  • -v, --verbose — print verbose messages. chatterbox mode, activated. 🗣️
  • -?, --help — give this help list. your little rescue flag when you forget everything.
  • --usage — give a short usage message. the tiny version. lowkey the tl;dr.
  • -V, --version — print program version. flex the version number bestie. 👑
Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options.

^ read that twice, fr fr. if a long option needs an argument, its short twin needs one too. if it doesn't, it doesn't. they match, always. 💖
