This article describes about the log message "nvram: variable bootdev not found" showing whenever a configuration commit is performed on the device.

The following log message is observed whenever a configuration commit is performed on the device:

nvram: variable bootdev not found

This behavior may start to occur after upgrading the device to a 24.x Junos OS release.

The message is observed when USB storage is disabled in the device configuration using the following command:

set chassis usb storage disable

With USB storage disabled, the system attempts to access the bootdev NVRAM variable during the commit operation but is unable to find it, resulting in the above log message.

This is a cosmetic log message and does not indicate a failure with the configuration commit.

Remove the following configuration:

delete chassis usb storage disable

After deleting the configuration, commit the changes:

commit

The nvram: variable bootdev not found message should no longer be observed during subsequent configuration commits.
