Reinstall System. Firewalld settings

[swh]

I have to reinstall my system. Mainly because my /efi only has 500mb. A bit too small.

Now to my actual problem:
How can I save the ports/settings of firewalld and add them again afterwards?
Is that correct if I back up /etc/firewalld and add it again afterwards? Will that work? Or is there an easier way

Backup /etc/firewalld

Thanks. I just edited my post when you replied

I understand that OP wants to reinstall to get a clean disk setup but I just wanted to ask this for knowing if this may help in such cases if someone doesn’t want to reinstall:

mount the ESP to /efi and additionally mount an “Extended Boot Loader Partition” (XBOOTLDR) to /boot. This can be useful when a previously created ESP is too small to hold multiple boot loaders and/or kernels but the ESP cannot be easily resized (such as when installing Linux after Windows to dual boot). This method is supported by at least systemd-boot.

I don’t think XBOOTLDR partitions are compatible with our automation.

[cactux]

OK. But otherwise if it was an Arch install with no automation and everything manually set up, would that work?

For me, a complete reinstall is easier. I have backed up all the relevant files and settings. After a reinstallation, the system is restored in a very short time.

[dalto]

Sure, probably.

Yes, I understood that. I wasn’t suggesting it as an option in your case. I wanted to know if that can be an option for other setups that doesn’t have EOS’ automation.
