df -h /efi for systemd-boot installs and this for Grub:
df -h /boot this will not show ESP size but kernel images size..
ESP size on Grub installs would be df -h /boot/efi

LTS and current kernels.

I’m guessing it’s going to be many, many years before we need more space for this partition..

Throwing the dice… ⚂ … Okay, my Thinkpad it is:

$ LANG=C df -h /efi
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1  2,0G  111M  1,9G   6% /efi

(1 kernel + fallback + memtest86+)

@joekamprad Coincidence or fake, your screenshot? “Metamorphosis” (Star Trek TOS) just aired on TV an hour ago!

I only have the standard Linux Kernel no lts or others.

My efi is under /boot and not on a separate partition.
df -h /boot/EFI
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1 4,0G 735M 3,3G 18% /boot

Installed kernels:
ls /boot/initramfs-linux* | grep -v fallback
/boot/initramfs-linux-cachyos.img
/boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img
/boot/initramfs-linux.img

Mine was about 200MiB partition until recently .. I expanded it in case I want to do UKI things.

But its still taking very little weight between the multiple OSs for now.

$ df -h /efi
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1  2.5G   35M  2.5G   2% /efi

I feel light

$ df -h /efi
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 1022M 100M 923M 10% /boot

created the 1GB boot during install

you built a 2GB boot-–always looking to the future :grinning_face:
