[yast-devel] YaST2 +EFI Partition
Hello, a question for the size of a EFI Partition? I found a document Novell (7003263) that tell me, the partition "can be" 100-400 MB but yast2 only let me create a partition of 156 MB, in the most time a bigger Partition was mounted as /WINDOWS/C from YaST2? OK, I learning in the moment to install over (U)EFI and have no chance to set up a XEN system with EFI. OT: The Question is only the change to grub2-efi (dualboot) must I have for this a bigger partition? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J.

I cannot reproduce this here. I can create EFI Partition of other sizes than 156 MB. Since EFI Partitions have the same filesystem (FAT) as windows partitions, YaST2 assumes FAT partitions above a certain size limit to be plain normal windows partitions. Nevertheless one can simply use such an mis-detected Wwindows partititon and use it as EFI partition. Just modify its mount point to /boot/efi select to format it.
