Is this a recommendation from a different vendor which SUSE chose to pick up, and if so, who was that vendor? It's not like SUSE puts kernels onto the ESP, so that space seems wasted, at present. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

when they want to install Ubuntu or Windows alongside the openSUSE system

That does not answer the question - are we expecting Ubuntu or Windows to put molasses of data into the ESP? openSUSE certainly does not at present.

Advanced Format 4K Native drives (4-KiB-per-sector) drives, the size must be at least 256 MiB because that's the minimum partition size of FAT32 drives

So one could choose FAT16.

Really, 15 years ago in Europe it was already almost impossible to buy a disk smaller than 10GiB.

I am not arguing about the size choice of 256M, but I wish, in general, that everyone could get over the narrow-sightedness that everybody has, or has to have, high-density slow-access spinning hard disks. Flash was and is still one power-10 order of magnitude smaller, then (40 GB vs 4 GB CF card) and now (10 TB rust vs 1 TB SSDs). And that Optane looks like some more power-2 orders down in terms of size... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hanssen changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |terje@nordland-teknikk.no --- Comment #7 from Terje J. Hanssen --- I installed Leap 15 on one workstation in dualboot setup with existing Leap 42.3 which had a pre-partioned disk with /boot/efi of 156 MB size. When mounting this /boot/efi partition for Leap 15 warnings told: The system might not be able to boot. Missing device for /boot/efi with size >= 256 MiB and file system vfat. On the other hand, on my dualboot setup ultrabook Dell XPS 13 pre-installed with Ubuntu 16.04 pre-installed, the /boot/efi partitions was sized 600 MiB. I've currently used 66 MB here. I've found it useful to directly be able to Flash new BIOS versions saved on /boot/efi. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
