ROCK new EFI build verses old ... ie 255 vrs 253 both EA

[wizardofoz (Mr Fix It aka The Wiz)]

I have a 128GB drive that has 100% of 114GB available on B253, but a similar 128GB drive is only showing 86GB available on B255.

@danny does the newer B255 EFI really eat up so much additional space on a smaller drive?

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

No, but we reserved some more space for future expansion.

The legacy boot installs will not get those features.

@danny

The legacy boot installs will not get those features

Huh? Which features? I thought …

@AMP

There is no practical (or audible) reason to change from legacy boot to UEFI so there is no need to worry about which mechanism your existing device is using.

OK those 64GB SSD’s are not going to cut it anymore then as only 27GB left for a library Even 128GB might be pushing the friendship for a larger library

I presume rock OS 2.0.

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

Me too, so there will be features that one doesn’t get with a legacy install and so there will be practical differences?

[ged_hickman1]

I think Danny said IS and current not will be

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

Semantics. I’m just wondering what features might depend on the type of bootstrapping or the size of the EFI partition. I can’t imagine anything in the actual RoonOS or the Roon Server, figuring it must have to do with recovery.

[ged_hickman1]

I don’t know enough about it to know. Would the monitoring tools be put in there somehow, so outside a user accessible area?

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

No idea. It seems weird if all Nucleuses with legacy boots were left out of whatever new features those are
