Ok so I recently bought a new graphics card and would like to use pci passthrough to a windows VM to play the few games I can't play through wine. However unfortunately to get this working I need to be booted via UEFI and my original manjaro install was installed through the legacy BIOS/MBR way so I set about converting my install to a UEFI one.
I've been using the following guides and have got about 95% of the way there but have hit a ■■■■■ wall.

My original set up was a 5GiB ext4 /boot partition as the first partition and the remaining space as a btrfs partition as my / on /dev/sdb.I booted into the kde livecd of manjaro, resized and moved my partitions around until I had the partitioning scheme below:
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT loop0 squashfs /run/miso/sfs/livefs loop1 squashfs /run/miso/sfs/mhwdfs loop2 squashfs /run/miso/sfs/desktopfs loop3 squashfs /run/miso/sfs/rootfs sda └─sda1 ntfs 19B4EE684E10D406 sdb ├─sdb1 vfat ABB0-9D7D /mnt/@/boot/efi ├─sdb2 btrfs 25bb28e8-9f58-471e-8e39-fddd35f3eed9 /mnt └─sdb3 ext4 boot_partition aaed9e31-db62-43fd-ba38-ccdcd095e507 /mnt/@/boot sdc iso9660 MJRO1702 2017-06-25-18-42-17-00 /run/miso/bootmnt ├─sdc1 iso9660 MJRO1702 2017-06-25-18-42-17-00 └─sdc2 vfat MISO_EFI 21C7-92D8 sr0
I was able to chroot into my old installation (/dev/sdb2) and install grub via:
[manjaro /]# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --recheck Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Installation finished. No error reported.
and I reinstalled the currently installed kernels so that they would get placed into /boot. This all went fine until I try and create the grub config file (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) where I get the below result:
[manjaro grub]# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg /usr/bin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [manjaro grub]# update-grub /usr/bin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
I've read through a bunch of pages of people having similar issues and they all seem to be stemming from not having the virtual filesystems mounted properly before chrooting into the installation, however I've checked and tried multiple different ways of mounting them and they seem fine.
/dev/sdb2 on /mnt type btrfs (rw,relatime,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/) /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/@/boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/@/boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) proc on /mnt/@/proc type proc (rw,relatime) sys on /mnt/@/sys type sysfs (rw,relatime) dev on /mnt/@/dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=16425412k,nr_inodes=4106353,mode=755) pts on /mnt/@/dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) pts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) efivarfs on /mnt/@/sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,relatime)
I've tried mounting the virt filesystems two different ways, via "mount -o bind /dev /mnt/@/dev/" and "mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc" (applying these two methods to /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys with and without /run done aswell). If I try to update grub.cfg outside of the chroot I get the below result:
[root@manjaro manjaro]# update-grub /usr/bin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'.
The grub install seems to have worked fine aswell because the boot option shows up in the UEFI setup, If I try to boot to it, it goes straight to the grub cmd line (presumably because there's no valid grub.cfg). I'm completely stumped at this point so any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. See below for my inxi output, keep in mind though that I'm booted from the livecd and can no longer boot into my normal install.
