Because grub2-probe is used to determine that uuid in grub2-mkconfig.

Yes.

I'd rather pick f2fs patch if we want this fixed rather than calling blkid in
grub2-mkconfig as it's future fix from upstream. The other concern is the idea
behind grub2-probe is to have the grub utilities less dependent on external
commands that helps it running on different systems, basically follow the idea
.

Thanks.
