[SOLVED] Bootctl Install Warning

howlvenger · 2023-08-02 18:14:12

When installing arch, after running bootctl install, the following warnings appeared:

Mount point '/efi' which backs the random seed file is world accessible, which is a security hole!
Random seed file '/efi/loader/random-seed' is world accessible, which is a security hole!

System does boot up just fine. Is this anything to be worried about?

Most likely you need to change the umask for the efi or boot partition in your /etc/fstab to something like this "fmask=0077,dmask=0077"

I believe that was it, in the fstab it was set to 0022 for both the fmask and dmask.

If it is now solved, mark the topic as such
