Hello list, In my search for a suitable boot method, I'm trying Mike G's systemd-boot ebuild. I've installed it with no problem, and now I reach the heart-in- mouth stage of actually replacing gummiboot with it. But first, the backup, including dd of what used to be called the MBR (what is it now?).
# parted -l Model: Unknown (unknown) Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 256GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 3146kB 2097kB uefi bios_grub 2 3146kB 144MB 141MB fat32 boot boot, esp 3 144MB 4504MB 4360MB linux-swap(v1) swap 4 4504MB 15.0GB 10.5GB ext4 rescuesys 5 15.0GB 32.2GB 17.2GB ext4 gentoo 6 32.2GB 36.5GB 4295MB ext4 var 7 36.5GB 45.1GB 8590MB ext4 home [...] That start block of the uefi partition looks odd to me. I'm pretty sure I didn't specify a start position to parted when I was constructing the partition layout six months ago, preferring to let the program choose a value itself. I do remember, though, that parted had a strange idea of what 2MB meant: it's turned out to be 2097kB. My question for the panel is whether I need to do anything about that partition layout. What do you think? -- Rgds Peter
