| efivarfs - a (U)EFI variable filesystem | |
| The efivarfs filesystem was created to address the shortcomings of | |
| using entries in sysfs to maintain EFI variables. The old sysfs EFI | |
| variables code only supported variables of up to 1024 bytes. This | |
| limitation existed in version 0.99 of the EFI specification, but was | |
| removed before any full releases. Since variables can now be larger | |
| than a single page, sysfs isn't the best interface for this. | |
| Variables can be created, deleted and modified with the efivarfs | |
| filesystem. | |
| efivarfs is typically mounted like this, | |
| mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars |
