OK,
This is correct, but is is absolutely confusing !!!
Same name 2 different files !
Are there both generated by grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ?
I do not think so, if I check the date of creation.
How is generated /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ?

There should be two:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
The first one has a few lines to find and load the 2nd one.
grubx$arch.efi
In addition to my previous question.
Should I have a grub.cfg in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora ?

That is normal - at least for my systems.

Sorry, it is really mounted at boot.
I can umount and remount even with a file in /boot/efi/EFI is here

And see if it is really mounted. I am going to guess it is not. And
it has nofail so will cleanly fail and not block the os.
After the df then try a

Well, when EFI started it was so screwed up that pretty much
everything had to be done in that EFI shell (the classic bios screen
did very little in the early systems). That was 2002-2003 (or
before), and it has taken so long for EFI to take over is because of
how badly the first implementations

It is possible to get yourself in trouble if you have more than one EFI
partition. My two were on the same drive; I don't know if that makes a

I just want to be sure.
You only need one. That's one of the big benefits of EFI.

If your system boots, then probably, yes.
If so, why does the Fedora installer propose a separate
/boot in this EFI hardware case with GPT partitioning?
The kernel and initrd need to be in a place that GRUB2 can read them.
