According to the man page, you can't do anything to an EFI slice until you have run this command. But the docs on how to setup a mirror, create an EFI don't show this command.

Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThe efi_fsinit is used to to initialize the FAT filesystem on the EFI partition
The mkboot command is used to set up the boot area. Specify the -e and -l options to copy EFI utilities to the EFI partition, and use the device special file for the entire disk

Re: itanium EFI partition initialization
Integrity servers run HP-UX, Linux, Windows, OpenVMS, NonStop. EFI probably also works for x86.

You forgot Windows and Intel. They do what they know. :-)
