Hi folks, after mount pstore with efi as backend there are only 11 entries in pstore dir. Although I have about 80 pstore entries in my nvram. I can reproduce it 100% on my DELL XPS. And will try it on one more vendor. my kernel version is 3.12-rc4. Please let me know if it's not a kernel bug but a buggy firmware. :-) Here is my dmesg out put: [ 17.076222] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): p3p1: link becomes ready [ 104.749604] pstore: failed to load 76 record(s) from 'efi' <-- this line appear when I mount pstore. [ 104.749610] SELinux: initialized (dev pstore, type pstore), not configured for labeling Here is the output of `ls /sys/firmware/efi/vars`: AcpiGlobalVariable-af9ffd67-ec10-488a-9dfc-6cbf5ee22c2e
