      Goal

      • Some customers are used to execute grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg command on UEFI systems, which then breaks the wrapper
        • As an administrator, I would like that executing above command doesn't overwrite the wrapper but instead fails and explains grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg command should be used instead

      Acceptance Criteria

      A list of verification conditions, successful functional tests, or expected outcomes in order to declare this story/task successfully completed.

      • Executing grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg doesn't overwrite the wrapper
      • Executing grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg reports an error and provides hints on the recommended command
