Whenever such a need arises, it should be mounted read-only. If a need to write to /sys/firmware/efi/efivars should happen, the machine should first be taken off-line, backed-up etc out of production and into a maintenance mode, where mounting /sys/firmware/efi/efivars read-write, _may_ be warranted. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
