No, it was a complete re-install, preserving /home. I agree, this was an event. The correct fix was probably to clean out /etc/efi and re-install the latest kernel. But I didn't know that. I'm not happy that: 1) Fedora changed what they put in ESP without a clear announcement and explanation 2) out of space on the ESP caused silent failure (On the first UNIX system I used, we could hear when a filesystem was full because log messages were printed on the console, a DecWriter LA30. The RK05 disk held just under 2.5 megabytes. <http://gunkies.org/wiki/RK05_disk_drive>. I may misremember some details.) --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
