Hi, I've seen a growing number of people reporting efibootmgr failing with ENOSPC when trying to add new boot entries, e.g. on grub-efi upgrades. It's a worrying trend, and users are ending up with unbootable systems (hence the severity). #852513 is a great example. Norbert has done an excellent job of investigating the problem (thankfully) and in his case this seems to be a problem with the pstore filling up. Maybe this is the cause of a number of these problems (e.g. #756253). With ENOSPC error, at the very least, we should: * warn users that their system may fail to boot * give some ideas on what might be the cause * suggest ways to investigate and/or fix the problem We could even check for files in /sys/fs/pstore and complain if they're taking up too much space, maybe?
Hi, * Propose or silently remove dumps (generated via pstore), or maybe leave only one dump * Avoid recreating entries if they are not changed or create the new entries before removing the old ones (so if it fails, old ones are still there) The dumps in pstore are kernel oops dumps. I'm not sure if these are possible to implement or if they are good ones.
Or maybe refuse to do anything if there is no more than a minimum required free space left on device. But that minimum required free space need to be determined.
