Why openSUSE installer specifies "EFI system partition" as VFAT? What file system is actually used? By standard we need FAT32 for EFI system partition + fixed drives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition "FAT32 is always expected on fixed drives". VFAT is not equal to FAT32: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table Windows requires FAT32 for EFI system partition.
