Re: Enlarging /boot
Hello,
If I understand correctly, it seems the minimum size (32MB, 100MB or 260MB) of the ESP depends on the sector logical and physical size of the disk:

fdisk ou parted will inform you of these sizes
In my case:
didier@hp-notebook14:~$ sudo parted -l
[...]
Model: CT500P1SSD8 (nvme)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 17,4kB 16,8MB 16,8MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
2 16,8MB 571MB 555MB ntfs Basic data partition hidden, diag
3 571MB 676MB 105MB fat32 EFI system partition boot, esp
4 676MB 52,4GB 51,8GB ntfs Basic data partition msftdata
5 52,4GB 53,1GB 700MB ext4
6 53,1GB 500GB 447GB lvm
So my ESP has the minimum size for the sectors logical/physical size
I am dual booting Debian 10 and Windows10
didier@hp-notebook14:~$ df /boot/efi
Sys. de fichiers blocs de 1K Utilisé Disponible Uti% Monté sur
/dev/nvme0n1p3 98304 35864 62440 37% /boot/efi
IMO, you can safely reduce the size of your ESP
