Weird output labeling boot partition.

I was running a normal Artix runit install following the wiki, UEFI laptop, with the latest weekly iso and I got this weird output after running "fatlabel /dev/sda1 BOOT".
"There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
This is mostly harmless. Differences: (offset:original/backup)
   65:01/00
   Not automatically fixing this."
/dev/sda1 is my boot partition formated as fat32, with 300M and mounted on /mnt/boot. I'll be continuing the installation normally either way.
I'm new to this forum so sorry if this isn't the right place for this report.

pretty sure that uefi partition should not be mounted as /mnt/boot.  /mnt/boot is for legacy boot esp if you use btrfs or f2fs or if you use gpt partition scheme and set a partition as bios_grub.

Anyway that is not the proper mount point for uefi.  you need to look at that again.

Code: [Select]
mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

1- you shouldn't mount your EFI boot partition at /mnt/boot, mount it either at /efi or /boot/efi.

2- why are you using fatlabel?  from what I know, you just have to set your partition type to "EFI System Partition", fatlabel is not needed for UEFI boot.

3- This would belong to the System board[1], not general discussions about Artix.
