Re: /boot file system

[Patrick Dupre]

You are correct
/ was lvm
and no /boot partition (but a /boot/efi partition)

I understand the point, but was I do not understand is that on another machine
which work fine, I have

/dev/mapper/VolSys_0-root       71724152 34126908  33910844  51% /
/dev/mapper/VolUsers-home       71724152 32719136  35318616  49% /home
/dev/mapper/VolSys_0-tmp         1998672    12568   1864864   1% /tmp
/dev/mapper/VolSys_0-usr_local  20511312   172412  19273940   1% /usr/local
/dev/sdb1                         766480    29604    736876   4% /boot/efi

and no /boot partition.
It is why I am confused.
