Anaconda claims that the natural sharing of EFI System Partition
across multiple OS is not supported, neither for Install nor for Update:
"EFI install from DVD forgets previous EFI boot"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809963#c7
"As far as sharing the same /boot/efi directory between installs, we don't
support that -- a new copy of the grub.efi binary is written as well as a new
grub.conf."
Unrelated. It created this HFS+ /boot/efi during the first install. And for subsequent
installs, it doesn't replace, delete, or reuse it. If I do a Replace Existing 10
times, I end up with 11 of these 200MB HFS+ partitions.
