Did find problem? On machine showing 70% full ran this fwupdmgr get-updates
It went thru process and had no issues. On the machine shows 99.7% on a few of the things it got messages like this?? Update Error: Not enough efivarfs space, requested 16.4 kB and got 1.2 kB The machines show 384K, but ls command only and adding up the sized of the 100 files only gives 36065.6?? Many files are very small, but even if they took 1K each or 2K each would not be close to the 384K. size of files listed under 1K - 5960 size of files listed over 1K - 30105.6 combined total 36065.6 sort by size last 13 files show 304 Dec 29 23:59 Boot0000-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e09 540 Dec 29 23:59 PBRDevicePath-a9b5f8d2-cb6d-42c2-bc01- 977 Dec 29 23:59 PKDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e0 977 Dec 29 23:59 PK-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8 1167 Dec 29 23:59 MokListRT-605dab50-e046-4300-abb6-3dd8 1678 Dec 29 23:59 RstSataFastEnumVar-193dfefa-a445-4302- 2052 Dec 29 23:59 DIAGEEPROM_VAR-8ebe3d07-3420-4bfa-8c13 2574 Dec 29 23:59 KEKDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e 2574 Dec 29 23:59 KEK-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b 4153 Dec 29 23:59 dbDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e0 4153 Dec 29 23:59 db-d719b2cb-3d3a-4596-a3bc-dad00e67656 5419 Dec 29 23:59 dbxDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e 5735 Dec 29 23:59 dbx-d719b2cb-3d3a-4596-a3bc-dad00e6765 tried copying the files to regular partition, but none of the files after the Boot0000 would copy? duf shows /sys/firmware/efi/efivars │ 384.0K │ 382.8K │ 0B │ ███████████████▌ 99.7% │ efivarfs │ efivarfs df shows efivarfs 384 383 0 100% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars So, something seems to be using space, but not showing itself??
