Yep you're right. If I had thought of creating bogus mount points first, then I can in fact tediously create ESP's per disk. Then post install I have to fix the f'd up fstab. And then copy boot files from the first ESP to all of the other ESPs. So I'd say it's not really creating ESPs when it's like that compared to the behavior on BIOS/MBR. > > I don't see how anaconda can somehow magically fix this. Create an ESP for every chosen disk, copy the boot files to each ESP. Just do it automatically, don't tell me, don't complain, don't show me. It's no different than BIOS/MBR. I don't understand how just because the firmware has changed we suddenly need to see required partitions. > If there is a > 'problem' here it's the one you mentioned in another mail, that Fedora's > approach to dealing with UEFI is too centred around a magic mount point, > but I _really_ am not feeling that supporting fricking RAID-1 boot > (which has always been more of a pain in the arse than it's worth, in my > opinion) is the most pressing problem we have to deal with when it comes > to UEFI. I didn't say it was most pressing. It is a regression compared to BIOS/MBR: each chosen disk had a boot loader location created, and each boot loader location had a boot loader installed. The user had to do nothing in the installer to make that happen. I don't think I've yet to have /boot on raid1 fail to install or boot, even degraded, in any version of Fedora. So I don't know what's a PITA about it. You check a box for raid1, you put /boot on it. Done.
