| From: Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Is /boot/esp in /etc/fstab? It is called /boot/efi. Yes, on my systems, it is in /etc/fstab. On my desktop: UUID=3C5D-B772 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2 On the CentOS system that acts up: UUID=A9B4-1C74 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt,x-systemd.automount,noauto,x-systemd.idle-timeout=600 0 2 | Well as far as I can tell from the man page for | systemd-gpt-auto-generator, it will actually automatically mount the ESP | partition to /efi or /boot (not sure about /boot/efi which seems to be | where most distributions put it as far as I know). It also mentions a | flag you can set on the ESP partition to make it not auto mount it. I imagine that is something to streamline containers. Some distros might use it. None that I use, so far. The requirement that / be on the same device as the ESP would sometimes pinch me. Most of the time it is OK.
