Hi all,

It seems you can delete EFI vars if you're not careful. Someone found that
executing "rm -rf --no-preserve-root /" also deleted EFI vars, turning his MSI
Notebook into a brick.

It also seems mounting these is hardcoded into systemd:

efibootmgr needs to write to EFI vars, it seems. Here's Poettering's answer:

Well, you've probably guessed the answer - Won't fix.


Cheers,


Wim
