It still seems to me that Linux should follow FreeBSD and not mount it as a filesystem and just use a library to manipulate the values. It clearly has some huge problems with being a filesystem. This isn't Plan 9 and everything does not have to be a file.
- eternal_july 11y agoOf course everything doesn't have to be a file (it is only that way on Unices). On Linux everything is a filesystem!
- floatboth 11y agoFreeBSD actually doesn't have any support for EFI variables at all! It just installs the loader into the default location (bootx64.efi) and the loader does everything.
- protomyth 11y agoI guess I counted the loader as part of the system. Its installed by FreeBSD to do the job.
