Was wondering what the purpose of this small partition is in a default proxmox install done via the official iso,
I looked online and couldnt find anything beside a single post calling it "padding".
I know the 512M sdX2 partition is the efi / boot partition containing initramfs, the kernals etc and
the largest sdX3 is containing the main data like zfs pool, but what is sda1 fore?

Thanks for all answers, currently trying to get a deeper understanding of the internals of proxmox / linux.
