Gummiboot error : file system is not a fat efi system partition (ESP)

I am at the point the guide tells me to do some specific work because I got UEFI motherboard
I did a fat 32 partition (type ef00) of 1G , which is my sda3
I created a dir /mnt/boot
I mounted the sda3 there
I type pacman -S gummiboot
result is File system /boot is not a fat efi system parttition file system
error: command failed to execute correctly
I don't get what I did wrong or what I understood wrong in the wiki. My partition is fat32, I try to install the bootloader gummiboot there but I take that error msg even if it's indeed formated as fat32.
edit: i've run the pacstrap -i /mnt base , everything worked smoothly and fast.

Hopefully you also say this line:
gummiboot install wrote:Copied /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi to /boot/EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI.
The \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi spot on the ESP is special. It is the "default" spot, which was originally intended to ensure that a UEFI USB flash drive, or other external media, would be able to boot.  So in those cases, there is obviously not going to be a firmware entry as there potentially are for internal devices.  So with external media, it finds the first ESP it can and automatically boots whatever is placed in that position.  After a while, this feature started to be implemented to the internal devices as well.
This of course has its benefits, but also downsides.  It means that you can actually boot UEFI without making an efibootmgr entry at all.  You can instead set the machine to boot from the device (as though you were booting with the old MBR system) and have things set to UEFI.  It will then, like the external devices, find the first ESP and then boot the \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi, whatever that is. But this also has made it so that different installers will "compete" for that default spot. So although gummiboot copying itself to that spot is in my opinion, convenient, I believe the microsoft installer will also make an attempt to write over this as well.  Hence, it is better (but not essential) to have a firmware entry.
As far as the efibootmgr mounting issue you had, it may be that the info is not in the beginners guide simply because of the recent changes to the efibootmgr binary.  See this section of the UEFI wiki page to understand what happened. Baiscally there is a new system in the kernel for EFI variables, and we have now switched fully.  But I also agree with jasonwryan here that it is also likely that there just simply has to be a balance between providing a nice up to date layout of the installation process in the beginners guide, while not totally regurgitating every single but of information from the rest of the wiki.

  • Error: Netboot scheme bdsp not supported on EFI systems

    I am trying to use the bless command to netboot to a specific server as below:
    sudo bless --netboot --server "bdsp://x.x.x.x"
    where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the NetBoot server. When I run this command, the error "Netboot scheme bdsp not supported on EFI systems".
    How do I tell my Intel Macs to boot from a specific NetBoot server?

    Funny you should mention that. My fallback was using the command:
    sudo bless --netboot --booter tftp://server.apple.edu/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/NetInstall.nbi/i386/booter --kernel tftp://server.apple.edu/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/NetInstall.nbi/i386/mach.macosx --options "rp=nfs:server.apple.edu:/private/tftpboot/NetBoot/NetBootSP0:NetInstall.nbi/Ne tInstall-Restore.dmg"
    from that article, and it works.
    However, my notes from previous NetBoot setups tell me that:
    sudo bless --netboot --server "bdsp://x.x.x.x"
    only worked on Intel machines and Mike Bombich's article says that "--options only works on EFI-based Macs". So, I was hoping that there was a bug or issue that could be fixed to make the simpler, bdsp command work.

  • J2EE Engine startup page error: File [main.jsp] not found in application..

    Hi Guys,
    I have just uninstalled and reinstalled SAP Netweaver 7.01 portal. The uninstall was clean and the reinstall also went without any errors.

    I don't see how this note is relevant here. It is just the j2ee engine start page which is not opening. If I go straight to the systeminfo page or the portal login page, they are all working.

  • Linux Cluster File System partitions for 10g RAC

    Hi Friends,
    I planned to install 2 Node Oracle 10g RAC on RHEL and I planned to use Linux File system itself for OCR,Voting Disk and datafiles (no OCFS2/RAW/ASM)
    I am having SAN storage.
    I would like to know how do i create shared/cluster partitions for OCR,Voting Disk and Datafiles (common storage on SAN).
    Do i need to install any Linux cluster file system for creating these shared partitions (as we have sun cluster in solaris)?
    If so let me know what versions are supported and provide the necessary Note / Link

  • File system partitions

    I'm installing Oracle 9i database on Unix system (HP).
    How many partitions should the file system have?

    U mean how many filesystem.
    It depends on the database. If it's a test one for you (test some feature, ...) you can make only one filesystem.
    For a better installation, but u should create (it's an example):
    /oracle : installation, filesystem
    /oradata01 : datas
    /oradata02 : index
    /log1 : redo log 1
    /log2 : multiplexed redo log
    /arch : archive
    /undo : undo tablespace
    /temp : temporary
    Make the datas, index and redo on differents disks if possible...

  • Error:  File System verify or repair failed :-(

    I'm hoping that someone here can tell me that I don't really have to worry about my new 13 inch unibody Macbook, which I bought last November. I'm travelling until April and, of course, don't have my install (or any other disks) with me.
    Today I installed some software and then ran 'repair disk permissions' to check that all was in order - which it was. However, my finger slipped (I actually find the new trackpad quite inaccurate from time to time but I guess that's my fault)- instead of closing Disk Utility I clicked on Verify Disk. I thought I would let it run its course ... imagine my surprise when this was the result ....

    What software is on the package? I believe Tech Tool Pro can do a directory repair job though Diskwarrior is, as the other poster observes, premier.
    Sometimes running verify on the same drive from which you are booted can produce spurious errors because the drive is constantly changing and verify can't keep track of everything and reports errors.
    Errors should be taken seriously and corrected before things get worse. It could ultimately end up in your losing files and having the computer crash. If nothing else make sure you have a backup of your data files.
    You can try running Verify in Safe Mode where the computer is running under a more restricted environment and see what it says.

    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items, third party items, and any Login Items.
    Failing all else there are several tools that run from Single User Mode, including fsk and Applejack. I would run these after backing up the files since occasionally any repair attempt (even with Diskwarrior) can go wrong and make things worse.

    Yep, your home partition is directly after the root partition, so what I suggested should work, however, give good consideration to the size of each, considering you don't have another drive (according to df) to use for storage. Personally, I only have 12GB on my home partition (after resizing) and now have 23GB on root.

  • Disk Utility can't format my external HD - File System Formatter fails

    Hi. I have a Freecom 1.5TB external hardrive that is connected by firewire to my Intel iMac. The drive has worked fine for a year and then suddenly the "error 36 code" appeared and nothing else could be saved to the drive.
    Disk Utility told me that it could not repair the disk and that I should format it. At this stage the problems start!
    DU fails to format the drive with the error "File System Formatter Failed."
    I have read various conversations on this error on these forums and followed the instructions but nothing has worked. I have already
    1) Partioned the disk making sure it is "GUID" - then formatted and it still fails
    2) Used MS DOS to do it but that also fails.
    I have noticed that the SMART status is "not recognised".
    Is there anything else that I can do or am I just doing this wrong? I am thinking that I might be able to do something using the start-up disks but I don't know how to do that and don't want to jepardise my iMac whichis otherwise working fine!
    Any help appreciated.
    Rob

    I went crazy last night with the same issue trying to format my Toshiba external drive. I could format as MSDOS but not Mac journaled. I tried the guid partition scheme etc... no luck.  Then I read somewhere that Leopard has an issue with the partitioning schemes. I hooked it up to my macbook on Tiger and whalla, formatted no problem. Then I was able to hook it up to Time Machine and let it reformat it on my Snow Leopard version of OSX on the iMac. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

  • How to recover from readonly file system?

    hi
    we are using EBS R12 RUP 6.is it possible to recover one of our instance from read only file system partition?
    scenario is :
    Had a conference with customer and found the below :
    Unable to start/run any "AD" scripts under $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME". For example : Unable to start the concurrent manager using adcmctl.sh script. Below error can be seen :
    Permission denied: Could write in "adcmctl.txt" : read only file system.
    We have tried to change the permission but the same "read only file system was coming". To confirm the issue we tried to create a directory or file using "mkdir" and "touch" command respectively but got the same error. Customer has confirmed that it was 15 days back they found it working after that its not working.
    Explained to customer that the issue is not with EBS but with some other operating system related. Please check with your OS administrator and make sure that this read only file system error will not come.
    Action Plan
    ================
    1.) Check with your OS administrator and resolve the "Read only file system error". It is a OS permission error. Update the SR once it got resolved.rgrds

    Sorry to be glib, but there's a lot we don't know about the architecture of your system, which makes it difficult to provide specific advice. You haven't indicated how much of your system is hosted on the filesystem that has been set readonly. Is it just the INST_TOP? Full applications techstack? Database? I'm guessing not the database, or you wouldn't be asking about starting apps tier components, you'd be asking about database recovery, and the problem wouldn't have gone unnoticed for 15 days. If you're just looking at the apps tier filesystem, or a portion of it (such as INST_TOP, which is sometimes separated from the rest of the apps install), you need to decide if you want to:
    1) Roll back your entire system to the point when the filesystem was set readonly, or
    2) Accept the loss of log files, etc. on the apps tier side, decide that what's in the database is more valuable, and move on from there. Assuming the fsck and subsequent filesystem repair is successful, of course. ;-)
