Sounds useful!

The Btrfs file system in my case is labeled 'my-root' and composed of 3
drives in a raid1c3 btrfs array (3 copies). @root is a subvolume on
which the root file system lives.

See the attached screenshot of the result:

I was about to mess around in GRUB to edit the prefix, cmdline and root values and do `insmod normal`, `normal` to proceed to boot, but then the init RAM disk failed like so:

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]
So there are more than one things to be adjusted :-). Thank you, I'll look at the data with a fresh head later, but it seems to me that we'd need to have GRUB fallback logic for the root devices when RAID setups are detected. I'll read on what GRUB has in store for this kind of thing when I have a chance. Your Debian GRUB config also has me wondering about the 'btrfs' modules, and the others than Guix System is not using. Thank you! Maxim
