Sharing EFS / EFI partition between Windows 8 and Fedora 20

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!
I've installed Fedora 20 on a Asus N550jv with no apparent issues.

Thing is, I accepted Anaconda's suggestion of having two EFS / EFI
partition, one for Windows (left untouched) and other for Fedora.

It is done, installed but... sounds messy.

Questions:
1- What are the advantages of having two EFS / EFI partitions?
I know some UEFI allow for one boot entry only per partition, thus
forcing to choose between Windows or Linux and leaving one with no way
to boot again the other; is that the only advantage of having two EFS?
I also know Windows 7 installer seems to balk when it sees two EFS;
I'd venture a guess Windows 8 has fixed this, can anyone confirm?

2- Any quick way to test if it would break, on my particular machine,
to have just one EFS with both Windows and Linux EFI boot files? Maybe
add two similar Windows boot entries and see if one of them disappears
after I boot Windows?


Thanks in Advance!
