[SOLVED] /boot/efi in fstab question.

voncloft · 06-23-2020, 09:43 AM

My system boots at the moment and am just curious if I have a redundant fstab file.

Listed below is my /etc/fstab file:

Code:

/dev/sda5       /boot           vfat    noatime 0       0
/dev/sda5       /boot/efi       vfat    defaults        0       1
efivarfs       /sys/firmware/efi/efivars  efivarfs  defaults  0      1
/dev/sda1      /            ext4     noatime             0     0
proc           /proc        proc     nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
sysfs          /sys         sysfs    nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
devpts         /dev/pts     devpts   gid=5,mode=620      0     0
tmpfs          /run         tmpfs    defaults            0     0
devtmpfs       /dev         devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid    0     0
tmpfs          /dev/shm     tmpfs  defaults              0     0

Do I need both /boot and /boot/efi - or can one of them be commented out?

Thanks

You should not have both. The entries in /etc/fstab are mounted after boot, so they don't have to be right in order to boot.

What is the output of the command "mount"?
