grub placement problem

im pretty sure that my grub is on my vfat partition which is mounted as /efi but it searches for files in /@/boot which is on my main partition and refuses to boot (not found normal.mod in its files) if i remove it from /boot/ (which is a directory in root subvolume), im pretty sure uefi doesnt have btrfs support so why is it required for me to have grub in my /boot

Re: grub placement problem

did you give --boot-directory=/efi to grub-install? if not it defaults to /boot and makes grub look for modules config on whatever partition /boot is on
