EFI partition - some questions



Hi folks,


I am using UEFI now for the first time. Everything is worḱing fine, but I do not understand everything. Please allow me to ask:


1. In /etc/fstab there is my entry

UUID=5ABD-D634  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1

and df -h shows


/dev/nvme0n1p1                 96M     32M   65M   33% /boot/efi

which is correct so far. But I also find the directory


/efi


which has the same content as /boot/efi. It shows, both are the same.


Questions:

1. Is the folder /efi correct and who is creating it?


2. If not, how can I get rid of it?


3. Which packages of debian must I install, to automate all settings of UEFI during grub-install or update-grub. I read of grub-efi, grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi-amd64-bin and grub-efi-amd64-signed. But which one I should install to get no pain. At the moment only grub-efi-amd64-bin and grub-efi-amd64-signed and of course grub2-common are installed. Do I need more?


Thanks for enlightening me!


Best


Hans
