I don't think it will be an issue. I've already been bitten by this with a ~1300 efi booted desktops and would welcome the updated configuration.
Speaking of which ...
Q: Shouldn't we be using 260MiB FAT32 as a minimum EFI System Partition (ESP) size going forward, especially as 4KiB logical blocks become regular?
o Just some history (detail) ...
- For NT6.0 (Vista), Microsoft recommended (and its installers created) a 200MiB FAT32 ESP - This size has seemingly "stuck" with most distros, even though ... - For NT6.1+ (7+/2008+), Microsoft recommended (and its installers created) a 100MiB FAT32 ESP However ... - If the logical block size is 4KiB, the smallest FAT32 file system is 260MiB Although ... - The ESP can be FAT16 (just like good'ole ARC) instead of FAT32 - Every ESP I've used, including Windows 7 and 8 x64, seems to install fine on a FAT32 ESP
Hence why I'm bringing it up. Just curious if there has been much discussion on this. I did some google searches on the archives and couldn't find anything.
