In my grub.cfg script for recovery boot linux, the "for dev in (*) do" loop, probing filesystem type generates gobbles of "failed to load module because of uefi secure boot" messages for the MS Reserved partition. This partition is basically a reservation and contains nothing. It should fail gracefully and return a false.

I'm on GRUB 2.04 from debian sid repository, h/w x86-64, windows 8.1 pro.

On a side note, there should be ways to probe for gpt partition types, but this will be a new feature request.
