Design a UEFI Linux disk.
Choose the standard partition from which firmware loads boot files.
Which item is appropriate?
The EFI System Partition (ESP) stores EFI executables and boot data read by UEFI firmware and is commonly mounted at /boot/efi.
Detailed explanation
Incorrect. Swap stores memory pages rather than UEFI executables.
Incorrect. /home stores user data.
Incorrect. An LVM PV provides storage to LVM and is not the standard firmware-readable ESP.
Correct. The ESP is the UEFI boot partition.
Try it yourself
An example you can run in a temporary verification environment.
printf '%s
' 'UEFI -> ESP -> EFI boot loader -> kernel'Expected result
UEFIからESP上のブートローダーを経てカーネルへ進む関係Key points
- ESP is for UEFI boot
- It stores EFI executables
- Often mounted at /boot/efi
Notes
- Environment: UEFI/GPTの概念確認
- Use read-only inspection or a disposable disk when learning storage commands.
- Partition and LVM writes can destroy data; verify the target before running them.
Foundation review
Place the operation
The ESP is a boot partition; swap, /home, and PVs serve different layers.
Check the side effect
Inspect the firmware boot entry and ESP mount before changing boot files.
