GPT is not strictly necessary, but it is highly recommended and is the only method currently supported in this article. To have the viewable partitions begin at the base consider adding this partition last.Īn EFI System Partition (ESP) is needed on every disc you want to boot using EFI. In fdisk or gdisk create a new partition starting at sector 34 and spanning to 2047 and set the type.
Since the partition will not be regularly accessed performance issues can be disregarded (though some disk utilities will display a warning about it). The post-GPT gap can also be used as the BIOS boot partition though it will be out of GPT alignment specification. When the partition is ready, install the bootloader as per the instructions below. This partition needs to be created before GRUB installation. This partition can be in any position order but has to be on the first 2 TiB of the disk. For UEFI and GPT/BIOS systems this extra partition is not required as no embedding of boot sectors is taken place in that case.Ĭreate a mebibyte partition ( +1M with fdisk or gdisk) on the disk with no file system and type BIOS boot ( BIOS boot in fdisk, ef02 in gdisk, bios_grub in parted).GRUB for UEFI and GPT/BIOS, however, does not use the Post-GPT gap to conform to GPT specifications that require 1_megabyte/2048_sector disk boundaries. Previously, for a GRUB, MBR partitioning scheme, GRUB used the Post-MBR gap for the embedding the core.img). This additional partition is only needed on a GRUB, GPT/BIOS partitioning scheme.Before attempting this method keep in mind that not all systems will be able to support this partitioning scheme, read more on GUID partition tables.GRUB does not support F2FS as root so you will need a separate /boot with a supported file system.You may use mdadm for RAID 5/6, which is supported by GRUB. GRUB currently (Sep 2015) supports booting from Btrfs RAID 0/1/10, but not RAID 5/6.GRUB supports Btrfs as root (without a separate /boot file system) compressed with either zlib or LZO.If you are looking for the article on the legacy version, see GRUB Legacy. The name GRUB officially refers to version 2 of the software, see.The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the Linux kernel. A bootloader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts.6.2 Using the command shell environment to boot operating systems.5.2.1 Automatically generating using /etc/grub.d/40_custom and grub-mkconfig.
3.1.1.3 Install to partition or partitionless disk.2.5.3 Create a GRUB entry in the firmware boot manager.
