As a result, if the first disk of the pool fails, the server will not be ab= le to reboot because of missing content of the EFI partition on the remaining disks. 2/ The installer add an entry in the fstab to mount permanently the efi partit= ion of the first disk to /boot/efi . If that physical disk fails, you have one mounted filesystem from a failed disk. This may jeopardize the stability of the system. One should never mou= nt permanently a filesystem from a non-raid device on a server build for redundancy. All of this is new to 13.0-RELEASE and seems added by the following commit= =20 https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=3D0b7472b3d8d2f1e90fade5236b44fd98d= 8e396c2 Previous releases (12.1, 12.2) setup correctly the EFI partition of ALL dis= ks and don't add /boot/efi to any physical disk in the fstab. I understand, the new (13.0) method for populating the EFI partition requir= e it to be mounted at install time. The installer should loop thru each EFI partition to format it , mount it temporary, set it up, and unmount it. This could also be done by freebsd-update when needed. By doing this, we could get EFI/zfs installation redundancy reliable again. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
