Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich

2013-11-07 10:45:52 CET

The minimum size of the EFI System Partition (ESP/EFISYS)) is 260 MiB due to a limitation of FAT32 on 4k-sector-drives (see also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824839.aspx).

The autopartition mechanism has to be changed within the UCS installer to prevent problems.
