The Fedora installer includes an EFI System Partition of between 200MB and 600MB by default, of which the lower size is much too small for firmware updates on modern hardware and also for future bootloader features like UKI. This change will increase the minimum size of the ESP to be 500MB, which is also the same value used by Microsoft for Windows 10 and newer.
Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended. The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the devel list thread linked above.
+1 🥾
We should verify that ESPs that large work in various environments (especially if that means it's now a FAT32 filesystem, as not all UEFI implementations handle that well).
Otherwise, though... sure +1
+1
Hmm, I somehow missed the discussion of this on fedora-devel. I'll reply there with some questions.
Procedural -1 to delay approval here.
This is a well-defined, narrow change that fixes very specific use cases (i.e. making sure fwupd and kernel / initrd updates continue working even as the files involved will get bigger). I'm sure there are other ways in which we can improve the boot setup, but those can (and should!) be handled separately.
