One of my cluster nodes gets this error when running efibootmgr:

write_variable():open(/proc/efi/vars/Efi-47c7b226-c42a-11d2-8e57-00a0c969723 b): No such file or directory

What does this mean? Why would this file be missing?

Thanks.

b): No such file or directory

It means that the specific file doesn't exist. What BIOS/Firmware are you using? Is it EFI 1.1-based?

There's a new copy of efibootmgr 0.4.0-test4 that I posted to linux-ia64 a couple weeks ago that fixes this. Rather than assume a fixed variable exists, it uses the first variable it can to do the writing.

Please download and try

Thanks,
Matt
