One thing I want to mention is the fact that GRUB has always been sorta laggy and slow. Even with four Samsung 840 Pro's in RAID0, this one NVMe disk being launched by Clover gets me to desktop 8 seconds quicker, go figure. I thought for sure time was going to be added because of the Clover layer, but no, my system now gets to desktop faster than it ever has. Besides, after disabling many things in my BIOS and setting to plug and play OS, I have reduced the boot time from 30 seconds to 22. I purposely edited the ist to do this as 5 seconds was unbearable.

So now Clover automatically gives me two options Windows 10 EFI or Fedora 26 EFI, with Windows booting in 1 second if I do not hit a key. I expected to see GRUB when I first reboot the system after the install, but NOPE, Clover fully kept the reins somehow. When I installed Fedora I did so like you normally do by putting GRUB into the Windows created efi/boot partition (or is that the other way around? boot/efi lol), which I believe is only 100 MB.

Yes, it has an EFI boot folder and there is a folder for drivers, its actually /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64/ since I am using a legacy BIOS system and Clover is aware of that. I have customized the configuration to only show Windows and Fedora entries, and I have it set to auto boot Windows at the moment. Surprisingly it works PERFECTLY on my Intel Xeon system. Without it (or DUET) I wouldn't be able to run Windows 10 or Fedora on this SM961. This lets me boot NVMe devices on my old Legacy BIOS only system as if it were a newer UEFI board. I have it installed onto a Sandisk Extreme 3.0 flash drive, but connected to a USB 2.0 port on the back of the mobo. Stuff in /boot folder is read only at boot or on kernel updates, it won't impact performance.Clover is a UEFI bootloader based on the work from Tianocore/Intel.

If that fails you can always make a separate /boot partition like 300 MB in size and formatted as ext4 or whatever (from the Manual partition selection in the installer, you can do that). That's why I want Threadripper for my next system, as AMD knows we need more lanes asap. You can only get so many M.2 connectors on one board, and again where are the lanes? I mean if your on Skylake or something like that forget about it. OR, we need a seriously new SATA revision that drastically tries to catch up, something along the lines of being directly serviced from the CPU, and something with about the same capabilities of about 4-8 lanes of PCIe 2.0 minimum. THIS is why AMD's move into more PCIe lanes is so very much needed. I don't see cheap 4TB PCIe SSD's any time soon, and even if we did where are the connections going to come from? Maybe have to get a Highpoint SSD7101A. Of course I am forced to use it for probably a long while on my NAS (actually a Home Server). Sata was born for and will also die with hard drives.Yeah I am well aware what sata was built for and that is why it is disabled on my system because I am moving on from that old tech, again at least for my immediate system. Stuff in /boot folder is read only at boot or on kernel updates, it won't impact performance. Clover or rEFInd are just programs running inside the UEFI board firmware mini-OS environment to do their job, they aren't like GRUB that fully takes over and uses its own specific drivers.

Clover efi read only drivers#

The drivers from there are for EFI, for the board firmware, not for a specific bootloader. Download the 圆4 bundle and just place the f2fs.efi file in the right folder as described in the wiki.

Clover efi read only driver#

Seems that Clover can use standalone EFI drivers (from the wiki, in the drivers64UEFI folder), but with rEFInd I could use the f2fs driver from here and it would detect and boot an Antergos linux from f2fs. If Fedora's GRUB was f2fs-aware you could use Clover to boot that GRUB (since it's in the UEFI partition for sure) and then from there you'd boot Fedora. If it is in the UEFI system partition (it's the same partition you put Clover into so it can sure see it), then it's fine for Clover. You'd need to check where Fedora places its kernel.

So, not exactly sure it can boot my Fedora install or not. EDIT: I just realized that I have to use the Clover UEFI bootloader and I don't think it supports F2FS.
