I agree. I even question why most linux distros persistently mount the EFI System partition at /boot/efi for no apparently good reason. Windows and OS X do not keep the ESP mounted even read-only. It's pretty much never updated. If we're constantly updating the ESP for things like grub.cfg modifications, I think the implementation is flawed. On EFI, grubx64.efi/core.img needs to look for grub.cfg /boot/grub2 not /boot/efi/EFI/fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048999 Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
