My point was that UEFI did not change the fact that "you cannot
have everything needed for boot on a RAID", so nothing new here.
useless nitpicking isn't helpful
Barking up the wrong tree isn't useful either. EFI is not the culprit.
but the root cause - cause and effect
No, EFI is not the root cause either. The root cause is carelessly
storing stuff in the bootloader area as if it was part of the standard
Linux filesystem. Guess what ? It is not.
LSB is dead
Even though the EFI partition
contains a filesystem, it is not a part of the standard Linux filesystem
and requires special consideration, just like the MBR, the post-MBR gap
or the BIOS boot partition.
LSB is dead
You can blame Fedora for this. I blame Debian for this. I praise Ubuntu
for managing multiple EFI partitions at last, and I do not often praise
Ubuntu, believe me.
i don't blame anybody
"BootLoaderSpec" is supposed to fix all the mess around UEFI and bootloaders
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BootLoaderSpecByDefault
I did not find any information about where the kernel-selection is
stored in this page.
in /efi/loader/entries/
Weird, the wiki mentions /boot/loader/entries/.
because that will be the default for everyone in the future

quick rsync in the initramfs or boot sequence to sync EFIs, then

yeah, initramfs is fine because that's generated due kernel-install
Aren't you confusing the initramfs execution and generation ?
initramfs execution is completly irrelevant for the topic
ok, my mistake: initramfs generation is fine because at that point
everything is already there, the initrd is locate don the EFI and when
that's finished is the point to sync a backup-ESP
But that's not enough, because other parts of the system may write to
the EFI partition, so it does not completely solve the issue
the issue "my primary drive died and i need to boot from the second
drive" is solved - period
nobody gives a shit about runtime stuff probably written to the ESP when
a drive dies - the only question at that moment is "does my machine boot
regulary after one of both drives died and can i start a RAID-rebuild
from my normal environment and continue my work"
