Dear Maintainer, I installed Debian Bookworm from a Gnome live USB stick. The installer complained on an insufficient size of the ESP (200Mb instead of 500). To fix this I scheduled a resize of the ESP via manual partitioning in the installation wizard. No warnings were shown notifying me in advance that this operation cannot be performed. As a result, when I started the installation, the process was interrupted in the middle of file system rearrangements. Workaround: I had to backup, manually remove, recreate the EFI partition with a desired size and restore its content. Expected behavior: Either add support for growing FAT32 EFI partitions, or prevent the user to select unsupported operations before the installation started. Here is the output of the installer: Grow partition ‘/dev/sdb1’ from 260.00 MiB to 515.00 MiB Job: Check file system on partition ‘/dev/sdb1’ Command: fsck.fat -a -w -v /dev/sdb1 Job: Set geometry of partition ‘/dev/sdb1’: Start sector: 2,048, length: 1,054,720 Command: sfdisk --force /dev/sdb -N 1 Job: Resize file system on partition ‘/dev/sdb1’ to 1,054,720 sectors Resizing file system from 532,480 to 1,054,720 sectors.
