Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #315499, revision 1 Title: decide whether ESP is to be used as /boot openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There needs to be a decision about how to proceed wrt /boot. Citing https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808017#c7 Looks like there are different opinions about what is the best setup. For reference, here is a discussion on the systemd list which indicates that they plan to mount the ESP at /boot: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-January/008273.html AFAICT there are several proposals so far: 1. ESP at /boot/efi, separate /boot as usual, only bootloader in ESP 2. ESP at /boot/efi, /boot on /, bootloader in ESP, bootloader implements all features to access raid, lvm, crypto etc. itself. 3. ESP at /boot/efi, /boot on /, bootloader in ESP, bootloader setup script copies kernel&initrd to ESP. 4. ESP at /boot, bootloader (optional), kernel and initrd in ESP. kernel&initrd would need to be packaged in e.g. /boot/EFI/opensuse then. 1. and 2. require feature rich bootloaders like grub2 while 3 and 4 don't. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315499
