Is there a drop-in configuration directory for /etc/default/grub?

Hi,

I'm using GRUB and I need to add a boot parameter without editing /etc/default/grub directly. Is there any form of drop-in configuration directory for /etc/default/grub?

Debian has /etc/default/grub.d/ but that doesn't work on Arch so I don't know what else I could do.

I would prefer to be able to put a file somewhere that has something along the lines of:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_parameter=1"

without needing to edit the main config file. Similar to Debian.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

Would adding

. /etc/default/grub.d/*

at the end of /etc/default/grub work?

I could probably make this one edit and put the rest in /etc/default/grub.d/.

You could test it?
Alternately the patch debian uses to add the behavior is https://sources.debian.org/src/grub2/2. … b-d.patch/

I tested it and it works fine. Thanks.
