Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-43
Severity: normal
The pstore pseudo-filesystem provides access to persistent storage
outside the regular filesystems that the kernel uses for, primarily,
crash logs. On EFI systems this is implemented on top of EFI
variables, but there are other backends for pSeries NVRAM, the ACPI
ERST facility and reserved RAM.
For the linux-image-* bug script I want to be able to read crash logs
from pstore, but currently I can't do this because it isn't mounted by
default. (I was thinking of implementing a fallback to the sysfs
efivars interface, but this is only readable by root.)
Please mount pstore on /sys/fs/pstore if this directory exists at
boot time.
Ben.
