Increase default size efi
Please increase the default EFI size to 1 GB.
With 2 kernels, one Zen and one LTS, plus the Nvidia modules, we are running out of space.
Thx :)
We've recently made it possible to separate EFI and /boot which has been the biggest issue.
Is that enough, or does the EFI still need to be larger?
(the split should make it so that a ~512MB EFI fits the UEFI binaries, and /boot can house the vmlinuz and initramfs)
1 kernel takes 233MB, with 2 kernel mkinitcpio -P fails because there is insufficient space.

I understand, the kernel != EFI binaries.
In the future, archinstall will try to make the 2 kernels live in /boot and the EFI folder will live on a EFI partition.
The issue is if EFI and /boot is the same partition (historically this is what archinstall have been using) as then, in your example, the singular partition will be too small.
Now, we can have a 120MB EFI even, and that will work.
As long as /boot (different from EFI) is large enough to contain the kernels.
tl;dr: We're fixing it ^^
Hi torxed. Are you saying the auto partitioning will create : 1 EFI 130mo 1 Boot (sized to move than 512mo ? 1 root
Thank you for your answers.
I have also a lot of issues using custom sized partition made with cfdisk... or using the integrated tool (not very easy to use, lots of issues too)
Have you got a plan for this part ?
Regards.

The ArchWiki now suggests an ESP size of 1 GiB.
