how is the boot directory of the EFI/ESP partition related to the boot directory of the root partition?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
2
are the files inside these 2 directories mirror images of each other?
how are they related? for example the below command that i execute:
sudo cp -a initramfs-4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64.img /boot/EFI/fedora
is it copying the file to the EFI/ESP partition(sda1) or to the root/system file partition?
thanks

Suggested edit: do you mean/boot/efi/EFI/fedora? (In this case, the answer is the command should copy a file to the ESP. Because the ESP should be mounted at/boot/efi.).

Systems vary. most likely/boot/efipoints to your EFI partition. But you can typedf /boot/EFI/fedorato tell you which partition is mounted there. Alternatively justmountwill list all mount points.

so i used this command: sudo cp -a initramfs-4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64.img /boot/EFI/fedora to copy the file to my ESP/EFI partition. a few days later(i'm not exactly sure at which point in time), the same file appears in the boot directory of my archlinux root partition. why is this so? thanks

/boot/efi points to your EFI partition. But you can type df /boot/EFI/fedora to tell you which partition is mounted there. Alternatively just mount will list all mount points.– Philip Couling
