Description Noel McLoughlin 2016-02-26 22:32:03 UTC

Description of problem:

Consider setting /boot/efi 'noauto' mount option as anaconda install default. Runtime access is only required during certain administrative operations.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -q grubby
grubby-8.40-3.fc24.x86_64

# rpm -q anaconda
anaconda-24.11-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. vi /etc/fstab
2. Add 'noauto' mount option to /etc/efi
3. umount /boot/efi

Actual results:

N/A

Expected results:

# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="console=ttyS0" --config-file=/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
error opening /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg for read: No such file or directory

Additional info:

Comment 1 Noel McLoughlin 2016-02-26 22:33:20 UTC

During administrative operations, /boot/efi can be mounted manually.

# mount /boot/efi

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2016-02-27 12:46:01 UTC

The some applies to /boot, does not it?

Anyway, how is this related to the basesystem package?

Comment 3 Noel McLoughlin 2016-02-27 15:58:52 UTC

I understand arguments for/against (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2402) and would dislike this enhancement in Enterprise Linux, but think it should be considered in Fedora as consumer distro.
