Booting nVME/PCIe devices?
Again, that's booting _neither_ AHCI/SATA _nor_ AHCI/PCIe devices.
There is _0_ AHCI compatibility when booting nVME devices.

I wasn't aware there was a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) for
nVME, only AHCI.

Just so everyone is aware ...

I _never_ suggested U-Boot.
I only said, as "devil's advocate," more people know U-Boot today than LILO.

The systemd-boot is a valid consideration, especially as more and more
systems are systemd capable.

I think there is some coverage in LPIC-1, namely Objective 104,
possibly others.  Those objectives should be expanded as part of
LPIC-1 v5 then.

But yes, 4KiB/512e v. 4KiB/4KiB physical/logical it's relevant for
uEFI, as FAT32 formatted EFI System Partitions will be 260MiB minimum
(for FAT32).

Do we want to get to that level?  Especially meta-data?  At that
point, we're talking dmsetup et al. as well.

As far as thin provisioning, I think that's ideal for a LPIC-3 Storage exam.

It should probably be both tools, at least for now.  But "ss" should
be in there, agreed.
