In your case, with a FAT partition, you are less likely to have problems.
Why do you think I have a FAT partition? I recall in my original message saying
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,noacl)
(U)EFI boot partions are (V)FAT32 formatted. Just the partition-type-id is different from standard FAT.
I'm quite certain that my partition containing /boot is ext2 formatted.
# blkid /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: LABEL="BOOT" UUID="f7e3ef67-a45c-4562-b404-5c48a2e3d2f2" TYPE="ext2" PTTYPE="dos" PARTLABEL="primary" PARTUUID="cebb3ec5-8cfe-4272-954e-04552ca5305c"
Things I don't know.
* why, even though it *IS* labelled "BOOT" its not so for "fdisk -l"
The label is stored inside the filesystem, fdisk does not look inside the content of the partition, and thus can not see the label.
* The difference betwewnn a UUID and PARTUUID
The PARTUUID is given/assigned by fdisk/parted at the time the partition is created. The UUID is the filesystem uuid, and is given/assigned by mkfs.xyz at the time the partition is formatted.
* Why the PTTYPE says "dos" when this a "gpt" device as reported by fdisk
PTTYPE is partition table type. Available are: * MBR only, old style, called "dos", limits are known (2TB) * GPT only, new style, called "gpt", some tools can't handle it. * GPT with "protective" MBR, this COULD be misdetected as mbr only if less than 15 partions are in use, and the tools aren't careful. Still, the sentence about space BEFORE the first partition still applies, no matter what type the first partition filesystem is. This one megabyte is NOT wasted. Just one bootloader fuck-up, and you will be happy about that space.
