We are using servers as DELL R630
in our lab's, when OS version is RHEL 7.9.
Here is an example from filesystem on these servers (from boot point of view):
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 500G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─sda2 8:2 0 229G 0 part
Recently we get new DELL servers as R750, and we also installed the RHEL 7.9 from the same ISO on that servers.
Now we have additional boot partition - /boot/efi
.
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 500G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─sda3 8:3 0 560G 0 part
From fstab
its looks like this:
UUID=746E-8398 /boot/efi vfat defaults,uid=0,gid=0,umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 0
Since we are using the same ISO file for installing RHEL 7.9 from the same ISO, on all type of servers, then we do not understand how comes we get the new partition /boot/efi
?
