Well, this is the default boot1.efifat size. If you think 50MB is more reasonable, the boot1.efifat size should have a corresponding size. That said, as long as there are almost no such UEFI applications, I'm not bothering. Besides, even if there were, I don't have any interest in the UEFI "ecosphere" as-is. I see it as an ugly-but-necessary pre-bootloader environment only. -Dimitry
