Hello, gentoo-users, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
today I wanted to resize my EFI-partition sda1. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
It was on my SSD which had roughly this layout: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
sda1 300M EFI System |
| 8 |
sda2 ~460G linux fs -> btrfs |
| 9 |
sda3 ~4G swap |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This is a dualboot setup with Gentoo and Fedora (in fact triple-boot as |
| 12 |
there's some MS Windows 10 Pro on another disk, but anyway) and both |
| 13 |
distros have their root-filesystems and stuff within the btrfs on sda2. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
They even share stuff by mounting the same subvols here and there ... |
| 16 |
nice, by the way. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My issue was and is: 300M gets tight when 2 distros install multiple |
| 19 |
kernels into /boot ... so I would like to have around 500 megs to avoid |
| 20 |
having to always manually clean up some kernel before upgrades run |
| 21 |
through. comfort. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I ddrescued sda to a HDD for backups, then rebooted with gparted etc etc |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
long story short: it failed. |
| 26 |
Right now I boot and run from that HDD with still 300M for EFI. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
sidenote: how slow such a harddisk is ... |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I'd like to move the full btrfs-structure to a slightly smaller |
| 31 |
partition on the SSD (which should have that larger EFI-boot-partition) |
| 32 |
and I would love to get some pointers on how to do that without having |
| 33 |
any fs-UUIDs changed, and gummiboot complaining etc etc |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
For now I am tired and leave it like that for today (late here). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Thanks, Stefan |
