What is the correct mountpoint for a EFI FAT32 System Partition partition? Should it be /boot or /boot/efi or /foo and then bind-mount it over /boot ?
I read somewhere that it should be /boot/efi (with /boot being placed over the root mountpoint / ) but on this archwiki page i read that it should be /boot (or /anywhere and then bind-mount it over /boot )
What advantages give the differences between all options?

Re: EFI System Partition mountpoint
Debian expects the EFI system partition to be mounted to /boot/efi
Arch mounts /boot to the ESP so that systemd-boot can work.

Re: EFI System Partition mountpoint
Thanks.
I am sure Debian uses systemd but systemd-boot sounds somewhat different. I had never heard of it before. Is it the archlinux alternative to GRUB?
Also, if i want to encrypt root, should i create an unencrypted mountpoint for /boot too? For example:or can i keep /boot on the encrypted root?

Code: Select all
/boot (ext4) is this required? how many MB?
/boot/efi (fat32) this shall be 256MB
/ (LUKS, ext4)
/home (LUKS, ext4)
/var (LUKS, ext4)
