When I said in I8594d1fe05242f246a5809740a115ab2f84ac5a3 that 12 MiB ought to be enough, I should have expected that I would be proven wrong. While 12 MiB is enough to fit shim-x64 and grub2-efi-x64, yum fails to update these packages to newer versions: Transaction check error: installing package shim-x64-15-2.el7.centos.x86_64 needs 7MB on the /boot/efi filesystem installing package grub2-efi-x64-1:2.02-0.76.el7.centos.1.x86_64 needs 3MB on the /boot/efi filesystem Error Summary ------------- Disk Requirements: At least 7MB more space needed on the /boot/efi filesystem. It is recommended that the ESP partition be much bigger. This commit bumps its size to 550MiB, following guidelines from Rod Smith to avoid incompatibilities with some EFIs [1].

The size of the ESP partition when building EFI based images is increased
|
|
considerably from 12MiB to 550MiB, in line with modern guidelines. The
|
|
existing size was often not enough to update packages.
