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

[Julian Andres Klode]

I don't believe there is a need for different labels, or a good kind of
ID to display, even. The use case of the code is for raid1 where each
disk in the raid1 mirror contains the same ESP, so they are all
functionally equivalent - the point is that you can fallback to another
if one of the disk fails / is removed.

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.
