What happened?

Until powering off the machine, Ventoy works just as intended. However, after rebooting my machine, the filesystem on the EFI partition seems to get wiped, meaning I can't boot into my ventoy disk.

This is a screenshot of the partitions before the drive: Screenshot 2023-05-31 111526


and after I reboot the machine, the EFI partition appears as a 'RAW' partition. Screenshot 2023-05-31 112549

I have also tried this with GPT partition style and the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, have they found a fix for this?

Found the issue and it was with my USB drive. It happened to die right after I made this issue, so I went and brought another usb flash drive and I installed and ran Ventoy on it with no problems.
