Scheduled
As part of our continuous improvement plan, we will change the layout of the EFI System Partition (ESP) for new installations of AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux 8 and 9 on UEFI Dedicated servers.
Start time : 03/12/2026 10:00 UTC
End time : 03/12/2026 11:00 UTC
Service impact : None. Installed servers keep their current layout until they are reinstalled.
From the start of the maintenance, new installations of the OSes listed below on UEFI servers with several disks will get an ESP over RAID1.
Servers that boot in legacy (BIOS) mode, and installations on a single disk or on a hardware RAID volume, are not affected.
List of affected OSes:
AlmaLinux 8 (and its cPanel and Plesk variants)
AlmaLinux 9 (and its cPanel and Plesk variants)
Rocky Linux 8
Rocky Linux 9
Service improvement : Instead of one ESP per disk, which could cause problems after bootloader updates, new installations will get a single ESP over RAID1, kept in sync on all the disks, like Debian 13 and Proxmox VE 9.
Please refer to https://docs.ovhcloud.com/en/guides/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/efi-system-partition for additional information.
Thank you for your understanding.
