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.
