    hardmode: I did a fresh install on a HDD that is on verge of being dead. Every-time this thing boots it’s a miracle. Somehow dd blanking the disk, plenty of smartctl offline disk surface scans and finally putting btrfs with data in DUP profile resurrected the HDD. I have run btrfs scrub daily or else the os install may bitrot and well… expire. :D

    Edit: Todays catch, I was too late and now I have fix 3 files:

    Error summary:    read=112
  Corrected:      109
  Uncorrectable:  3

    The \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI is the only file the UEFI standard says it is required automatically lookup from an EFI system partition. There can many EFI partitions but the UEFI is only required to find a single file per such a partition.

    efibootmgr -u can show all bios auto created boot entries (don’t touch those, the bios can/will reset them at whim) and the manually created entries that don’t launch a BOOTX64.EFI named file.
