I recently reinstalled arch but I have a problem with efi partition, user can acces it and the fstab is fucked up

See fstab(5) for details.

I have tried modifying and regenerating fstab but it dosen’t work. Also grub can’t be accessed when I’m booted, nor does grub theme. How to I fix this?
I was looking through commands history and I noticed something. If I’m mounting efi in /efi but I save grub-mkconfig -o to /boot/grub/grub.cfg during boot grub won’t even notice the config file since root is not mounted. Should I save changes to /efi/grub/grub.cfg instead? Or /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the place it should be?
root must always be mounted if you have a system, either by booting or chroot. If you mount just efi from another system .
On my setup /efi/EFI/grub only has the grub efi binary no config, /boot and therefore /boot/grub is on /root partition
Now if you have the entire /boot in the /efi partition then it would be /efi/boot/grub/grub.cfg?

What I meant is that during boot efi partition gets mounted before root so it wouldn’t be able to get config files from root partition. But that’s not the problem, I tried regenerating grub. Most likely it’s something wrong with the theme I applied. It keeps saying that it dosent found grub and that it should be mounted either in /efi or /boot but it is mounted. I’ll try with grub-customizer.
Managed to get grub theme work so the grub is set up right. I guess I should stop being a help vampire. Anyway thanks for the help
