Two days or so ago, grub started finding the non-existent partitions, where is none. Grub commands are also takes A LOT of time to complete (3+ mins or so). Today I couldn’t boot into my system at all, and had to go through the grub restore guide. Here’s output of grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg from there:
[manjaro /]# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I’m not yet sure if I’ll be able to boot into my system this time, but I guess it’s related.
Nope, it doesn’t boots. It hangs up on a motherboard creator logo before the grub. I have no idea how to restore on this point, seems like timeshift also is not an option. Output from timeshift --restore:
[manjaro /]# timeshift --restore

I also must note, that I made a manual chroot, since manjaro-chroot -a throw an error ==> ERROR: No Linux partitions detected!

No, I don’t think it’s a hardware problem, since I can mount my partition from a live-CD
My grub.cfg weights more than 10MiB, is it normal? I mean, it has TONS of recurring non-existent partitions
I started having a similar problem regards multiple entries for Manjaro. As far as I can figure out these are timeshift snapshots being seen as multiple OS’s.

I’ve managed to boot into my system. I’ve made so by removing os-prober in grub settings (setting the GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER in /etc/default/grub to true) and running update-grub in a chroot from live-cd. But that actually doesn’t seem like the right solution.
In my case my system boots just fine. It just irritates me that the grub is screwed up.
I hope anyone finds out what to do with that bug, or at least will tell me, to which repo it’s better to be reported. i don’t feel “safe” without permission to my timeshifts from grub, but afaik there’s no other way to boot the system at current state of grub’s config
