Offhand, I don't know of an EFI that will write to the ESP automatically; HOWEVER, there are cases when it can happen because of user actions and/or EFI applications' operation. For instance: * The EFI shell includes multiple commands that can write to the ESP when the user executes them -- file copies, file renames, a built-in text editor, etc. * The rEFInd boot manager includes options to store rEFInd-specific variables on the ESP, as well as to create screen shots. The older rEFIt can also create screen shots. * There's a whole Python implementation for EFI, so in theory, users could run Python scripts that write to the EFI. Assuming that the user knows enough to not do these things seems like an unwise assumption, IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466150 Title: grub-install breaks when ESP is on raid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1466150/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
