It will work as long as none of the installed distributions are duplicated, because that will duplicate the label. e.g. default fedora label is fedora, so if more than one is installed there will be problems, because efi expects to find fedora at /boot/efi/EFI/fedora. On this list recently, someone said that the default label can be changed to solve this problem. I haven't researched that yet, higher priority items on my TODO list (firewalld failing, unable to boot latest kernel). The other thing you can do is use systemd-boot, as it allows unlimited booting of distributions, same or otherwise, from the same efi partition, as long as they are booting efi. Finally, to answer your question, I think that whenever a new disk is installed and partitioned, an efi partition should be created. This is another way to solve the problem of having multiple fedoras installed. Just use a different efi partition, and switch to it using the system BIOS when you want to boot the alternate fedora. Most BIOSs have keys that you can hit to enter the BIOS and set boot priority, on mine F2 or Del. Gives a backup means of booting if a disk should fail, as well. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
