From memory /efi has to be read by the BIOS / UEFI, and has to be a FAT partition.

I stick with mdadm RAID on my server coz I don't need the extra flexibility, and it's less complex. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
