Both commands write onto `file' only a part of the output of `update-grub', I think the standard output. After giving the command and pressing `enter', that part is not shown on the screen but sent to `file'. The `error' part instead (the one complaining `unable to read superblock' and so on) is not written to `file' but is shown after giving the command and pressing `enter', and I don't manage to send it to a file.
