In amazon-image.nix
, ESP Partition mount to /boot
via a file system label ESP
.
fileSystems."/boot" = mkIf (cfg.efi || cfg.zfs.enable) {
# The ZFS image uses a partition labeled ESP whether or not we're
# booting with EFI.
device = "/dev/disk/by-label/ESP";
fsType = "vfat";
};

But it seems nixos-infect doesn't try to set the label. So grub-install
will fail during nixos-switch
I think it's simple to fix by using dosfslabel
However, the EFI partition will indeed be mounted to /efi
by some reason. I did not find any clear definition or reason. This is not expected.

Looks like I made a mistake, EC2 only uses EFI on arm instances.
So there is no problem, but the ESP partition does exist. Maybe it would be better to set the label.
