On the off chance that this issue has a broader impact I will leave a
reference to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/708251
wherein similar behaviours are being observed with 6.5.0-9-generic on
amd64.
efivar -l returns: "efivar: error listing variables: Function not
implemented", yet
With kernel 6.5.0-6-generic #6.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 21 12:51:18 from
ppa:esmil/ppa efivar works fine.

** Changed in:
U-Boot currently does not implement QueryVariableInfo at runtime. This
function is not needed for a read only efivarfs. I think it would be
more appropriate to check if GetVariable is enabled in
efi.runtime_supported_mask.
** Changed in: efivar (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Title:
efivar fail
The problem is due to the kernel not supporting the deprecated statfs()
call on the efivarfs file system.
To demonstrate this I have created the following program (statfs.c):
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct statfs s;
int ret;
if (argc < 2) {
12 matches
