Based on what I see and what you say, it seems you are modifying the timeout for
Stretch (/etc/default/grub on vol2), but actually booting Stretch from Jessie's
grub.cfg (/etc/default/grub on vol1), which remains configured to 3 seconds.
Is there more than one directory in /boot/efi/EFI/? If not, it's likely time for
you to explore using /etc/default/grub's GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= option. I need to
(only one Debian, but 3 openSUSEs installed), but have been putting it off,
using Stretch's menu for all.
