Isn't that a bug? For those that dual-boot, windows might get … "funny"
with that disk. ?

'We're not doing anything like that. So could you catch me up
(so I don't have to dig through EVERYTHING to find out :) what
the SET_FLAGS does here?

The method is 'zfs' and running

	partman-command GET_FLAGS <id>

in the second console (in the device dir) gives me nothing, so
I guess there's currently no flags set…

Primarily, it's the 'boot' and 'efi' flag I'm wondering about.
What do they do, why are they there?

And should I set 'efi' in mine (or perhaps 'zfs' - which makes
more sense) and create the <id>/{zfs_bootable,bootable}?


From a pure guess, I guess I should ONLY set the 'zfs' flag,
and not create the two other files… ?
