I know, I'd already covered that, but I was just pointing out it was less than straight-forward. And for what it's worth, on the newly installed Fedora 40 (after a fight and half), it's not mounted on /boot/efi, but inside it (like my CentOS example did). i.e. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora That's a clean install, so it does that itself. We could have simply had /EFI mounted straight in root (for utter simplicity), or /boot/EFI instead of /boot/efi/EFI. Were we ever going to have any local files inside /boot/efi that needed EFI to be deeper inside it? -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.118.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 24 16:01:50 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
