Partition and mount point /boot/efi for hardiware using uefi
by rocknrobin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PCK6)
Hell-o again. I have what may appear to be a trivial question, but I wanted to ask anyway. I am running Slackware 15.0 on a UEFi platform. In the process of setting up a new hard drive, partition and format, I noticed a peculiarity. I have two of these systems running, the second one is a clone of the first. When I ran lsblk to check mount points here is what I see:
The original Slack box:
Code:
root@robrutrm:/var/log/mythtv# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
sda1 8:1 0 930.2G 0 part /
sda2 8:2 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
sdb 8:16 0 3.6T 0 disk /mnt/hd
zram0 251:0 0 0B 0 diskHere is the second box where I am going to partition and format sdb:
Code:
root@robrutrm:~# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
sda1 8:1 0 930.2G 0 part /
sda2 8:2 0 512M 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 5.5T 0 disk
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
zram0 251:0 0 0B 0 diskFor some reason on the second box there is no mountpoint listed for sda2 whereas on the original box it shows /boot/efi for a mountpoint for sda2. Is this a potential problem and if so how should I fix it. Thanks in advance.
