I think it's possible. But ventoy relies on a specific partition structure, which probably doesn't make much sense.

Confirmed. Cluster size must be greater than or equal to 2048.

Master a1ive, vdiskchain project can most likely be integrated into Grub2FM. Just think about it :)

chainloader /vdiskchain vdisk=/MyVdiskDir/Deepin.vdi.vtoy

如果多个分区下都有 "/MyVdiskDir/Deepin.vdi.vtoy" 这个文件，如何启动指定分区下的文件？能否通过 uuid 指定磁盘？

from grub2-filemanager.

现在就是简单的grub2的 search.file 命令，所以应该是固定启动第一个找到的分区里的文件。
也可以多加个参数，比如分区文件系统的label或uuid， 使用 search.fs_label 或 search.fs_uuid 先找到分区，再拼接上文件路径也可以。下个版本可以加上。 不过一般情况下冲突的概率应该比较小，而且对于普通用户来说，可能改个文件名更简单一些。
