Fixing MacBook Fedora boot partition again

1. fsck the boot partition

[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo fsck /dev/sda1

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

fsck from util-linux 2.35.1
** /dev/sda1
   Executing fsck_hfs (version 540.1-Linux).
** Checking non-journaled HFS Plus Volume.
   The volume name is Linux HFS+ ESP
** Checking extents overflow file.
   Unused node is not erased (node = 1)
** Checking catalog file.
** Checking multi-linked files.
** Checking catalog hierarchy.
** Checking extended attributes file.
** Checking volume bitmap.
   Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
** Checking volume information.
   Invalid volume free block count
   (It should be 44798 instead of 43182)
** Repairing volume.
** Rechecking volume.
** Checking non-journaled HFS Plus Volume.

2. find boot files differing from live USB

[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo -i
[root@localhost-live ~]# cd
[root@localhost-live ~]# pwd
/root
[root@localhost-live ~]# mkdir efi
[root@localhost-live ~]# mount /dev/sda1 efi
[root@localhost-live ~]# diff -rq /boot/efi /root/efi

3. replace broken files with good copies from live USB

[root@localhost-live ~]# diff -rq /boot/efi /root/efi | grep differ | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | xargs install --backup --suffix .bak2 --target-directory /root/efi/EFI/fedora 
[root@localhost-live ~]# diff -rq /boot/efi /root/efi | grep differ
[root@localhost-live ~]# 

Should probably add a --mode a=,u=rwx to the install command.
