This looks to me a straight forward github issue. I am not sure where, at github, it should be filed. Quoting https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE/ , with lines break for readability The EFI variable LoaderFeatures contains a 64bit unsigned integer with a number of flags bits that are set by the boot loader and passed to the OS and indicate the features the boot loader supports. Specifically, the following bits are defined: * 1 >> 0 -> The bbot loadere honours LoaderConfigTimeout when set * 1 >> 1 -> ... * ... Here, $ od -t x1 /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderFeatures-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f 0000000 06 00 00 00 ff 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 0000014 Which is 14(octal)*8 = 96bit. As a result, it could be the shifting from the quote above, 1 >> 0, 1 >> 1, and so on, are also wrong. And perhaps it worth adding to the documentation that $ bootctl status presents those defined bits, as well as other information, in a readable form. -- u34
