Thanks jlliagre.


And i shouldn't be overly concern about how the sectors add up ?


e.g. part0 last sector and part8 first sector has a gap of 8 sectors ...
part0 1st sector 0 to last sector 12502430343 > total disk sectors available

part0 sector40 to last sector 12502430343 < total disk sectors available (missing 14 sectors) etc..

NAME

       systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
       it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
       the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
       point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.

       systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].
