The most important way to protect your FAT32 system is simply to avoid writing to it except when absolutely necessary.

The smaller the critical window, the smaller the chances of problems.
I agree. I even question why most linux distros persistently mount the EFI System partition at /boot/efi for no apparently good reason. Windows and OS X do not keep the ESP mounted even read-only. It's pretty much never updated. If we're constantly updating the ESP for things like grub.cfg modifications, I think the implementation is flawed. On EFI, grubx64.efi/core.img needs to look for grub.cfg /boot/grub2 not /boot/efi/EFI/fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048999 Chris Murphy
