Re: Does the installer detects when a distro have already created BLS?

Well... I will try to repeat more clearly my claim:

If Fedora want to pretend to implement the Boot Loader Specification, it must, on a new disk formatted in GPT, end up with an entry in fstab for an ESP partition mounted on /boot:

"These directories are defined below the placeholder file system $BOOT. This placeholder file system shall be determined during installation time, and an fstab entry for it shall be created mounting it to /boot."

...

"if the OS is installed on a disk with GPT disk label, and no ESP partition exists yet, a new suitably sized (let's say 500MB) ESP should be created and should be used as $BOOT"

This is the rule you are supposed end up to follow for an empty GPT partition.

And for now, the installer seems to make you define a specific /boot/efi that it make ESP. To follow BLS, it should be /boot that is the ESP partition... and I see no point to define an other /boot/efi partition to be mounted on /boot.

...

"$BOOT must be a VFAT (16 or 32) file system. Other file system types should not be used. Applications accessing $BOOT should hence not assume that fancier file system features such as symlinks, hardlinks, access control or case sensitivity are supported."
