Ah, its just legacy servers. Any newer have been built with UEFI for a while now.

Those demo examples are very impressive. I look forward to giving this a try.

As others have said, we remove the recovery partition when it gets in the way.

We came across a very similar but more sticky issue the other day. One of our admins rightfully converted all our VMs from BIOS to UEFI. This, however, created an EFI partition sitting to the right of the OS partition for the majority of our servers. We’re now in a position where we can’t increase disk size on any of those servers without going through the process of rebooting the box with gparted and manually moving the partition to the left. We’re a 24 hour operation with hundreds of servers. This is bad :/
