Os-prober does not work as it must

So, I have two OSs: OpenSUSE and Manjaro and I need the os-prober to use one grub menu but every time it types me to create a folder aka mount but when I re-create grub then this folder removes and I see this error again

Your ESP (/dev/sda7) should have ESP and BOOT flag, major problem is probably that OpenSUSE is on a btrfs formatted partition…

Hmm… OpenSUSE uses BTRFS partition by default for snapper. Is there a way to fix os-prober in my case?

You can try to start Manjaro with /etc/grub.d/40_custom
and commenting out os-prober.
This will start the bootloader of Manjaro afaik and not manjaro entry direct.
If openSuse or Manjaro update kernels, otherwise there will be much work to repair…
EDIT:
look for: “chainloader”
(Can't boot into windows after updating)
