Split out of bug 1894217. [Test Case] Using an OVMF-based VM, create a boot variable with a "/" character. For example: Shell> setvar FOO/BAR -guid 8ed72b3f-ad26-4d5c-aa36-38689635cac3 -rt -nv =foo Then, in Linux: $ ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ ls: reading directory '/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/': Input/output error BootOrder-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c ConIn-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c ConOut-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c ErrOut-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c MTC-eb704011-1402-11d3-8e77-00a0c969723b The Input/output error is the key symptom. See below to see how that percolates up to MAAS install failures. [Regression Risk] There's a very tiny chance that someone has written code that depends on an the -EIO error for some reason. It's hard to guess why such a script would do that.
