I have dual boot win10/ubuntu-linux.i want to upgrade my Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10. but in process, i am getting an error that says:
Efi System Partition (ESP) not usable
I've tried:
sudo mount /boot/efi
after that i got this error:
mount: /boot/efi: can't find UUID=0A0E-A110
but my linux is on sda7 with different UUID.so i got the UUID of the sda7 by:
sudo blkid /dev/sda7
Output:
/dev/sda7: UUID="fa092601-bef2-441e-92d4-2871f05e4a55" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="59087783-8cca-4a70-af2f-1472267b442c"the fstab file content now:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).## <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass># / was on /dev/sda9 during installationUUID=fa092601-bef2-441e-92d4-2871f05e4a55 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda2 during installationUUID=0A0E-A110 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
so i've addded this line to my /etc/fstab:
UUID=fa092601-bef2-441e-92d4-2871f05e4a55 /boot/efi ext4 umask=0077 0 1
after that the fstab content:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).## <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass># / was on /dev/sda9 during installationUUID=fa092601-bef2-441e-92d4-2871f05e4a55 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda2 during installationUUID=0A0E-A110 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1UUID=fa092601-bef2-441e-92d4-2871f05e4a55 /boot/efi ext4 umask=0077 0 1/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
I also commented UUID=0A0E-A110.
but i keep get the same error!
(Note: after some play with fstab file, got damaged and my linux boot up broke! so i logged in with a live linux and restored fstab!)
UPDATEthe output of this command:
sudo parted -l
is:
