Description of problem: efibootmgr currently does not support the efivarfs (/sys/firmware/efi/efivars) filesystem (replacement for the old sysfs efivars /sys/firmware/efi/vars interface) that is present in kernel >=3.8 . This support should be added to efibootmgr and it should use efivarfs by default and only fallback to old sysfs efivars interface if the former is not available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): efibootmgr 0.6.0 Related Links: http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2012/12/efivars-and-efivarfs.html https://github.com/fpmurphy/Various/tree/master/efibootmgr-0.6.0 https://github.com/fpmurphy/Various/issues/1 https://github.com/vathpela/efivar
https://github.com/vathpela/efibootmgr/tree/libefivars (via https://github.com/vathpela/efivar library) supports efivarfs.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I believe https://github.com/vathpela/efibootmgr/commit/80546398831ce56e1f513c4bbab3e5231e9f0a3b basically fixes this upstream, so we get this fixed for free when we go to 0.6.1 / 0.7.
This was fixed quite some time in the past.
well, if that's the case, can we just close it, or is there some purpose served by leaving it open?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
