I _thought_ the Debian Installer creates /boot/efi for UEFI systems, and makes it 500 MB or so. Also see <https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#EFI_System_Partition_.28ESP.29_recommended_size>. 100 MB looks small to me. I was bitten by an installer creating an ESP partition that was too small. In my case, the partition size was 200 MB. See <https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184661/unable-to-upgrade-from-2-7-1-to-2-7-2-unmounting-boot-efi-done-failed/>. > 2. If not, how can I get rid of it?
