The last booted entry does not become the default (btrfs and f2fs) #2870

OpenMandriva version: Cooker and ROME

Describe the bug: When boot system is using f2fs the last booted entry does not become the default

Steps to reproduce: You need a multi-boot computer. Install either Cooker or ROME using f2fs for / partition and in spite of settings in /etc/default/grub the Grub2 default is always the first entry in grub2 menu on the boot-loader system.

Observed behavior: In spite of settings in /etc/default/grub the Grub2 default is always the first entry in grub2 menu on the boot-loader system.

Expected behavior: Last booted entry should become the default.

Additional comment: These lines are present in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

Have also tried:

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

This may be related to file system type. I saw this on systems using F2FS. Recently I Re-installed Cooker using XFS and do not see this issue. I do not believe users using EXT4 are seeing this but am not sure.

I am going to close this. As far as I can tell this is an issue only for those using f2fs who also are multi-booting. I am a multi-booter and in OMLx right now I do not use btrfs or f2fs because they do not work well in multi-boot scenario for me. ext4 which most folks probably use and xfs both work OK in multi-boot scenario. Does not seem like this is where we want to spend our resources at this time.

I am using f2fs mostly for systems on my desktop and this issue is still present.
