Archlinux anarchy: Can't create efi partition?

Question

linux

Hello! Installing arch from anarchy. Everything is going well except for disk partitioning. I am going to use 2 OS, so I create a 512mb partition and mount it as boot. When I'm going to select the type of file system, there is no other than ext (2,3,4) and a couple more, so I did not find vfat and fat32. I had to mount boot in ext4 as well. When I complete the partition and move on, a window appears that says that the efi partition is not selected. How to be? How to deal with it?

Answer 1

Usually, when boot is made a separate partition, ext2 is used as the file system. At the same time, the EFI partition must be in fat32 and the /boot/efi folder is created to mount it, where this very efi will look for grub (which must also be with efi support, i.e. grub-efi). Most likely, in the disk partitioning settings, the required type of file system is determined based on the mount point (as a swap partition).
