Bug#783977: partman-auto: should create efi partitions as fat32 rather than free
* Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu-tl@ubuntu.com> [2015-05-01 15:11]:
> It looks like partman-auto, in the recipe-amd64-efi recipes, uses "free"
> rather than say, "fat32" as a partition type for the EFI partitions it tries
> to create. This has the unfortunate side-effect of not letting partman-efi do
> all that it may try to do, such as setting a name for the EFI partition (see
> partman-efi's update.d/efi_sync_flag). This happens because decode_recipe
> defaults to using 'ext2' to describe that partition, which doesn't match
> partman-efi's checks.
This patch looks correct to me but I'm no EFI expert. I'm copying
