Right and I'd be shocked if it weren't journaled HFS+, but it's possible it isn't because all it contains is one or two disk images which are what actually get booted. It's not a read write volume so there's no need for it be journaled. So it might be that the installation succeeded because it used the recovery hd as macefi. But what I expect is that I had a stale layout with a Linux HFS+ ESP that was recycled. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
