Efivars is full
Encountered this issue on A Dell server
Failed to create EFI Boot variable entry: No space left on device. during bootloader install
Googling DbocBoot only shows one result https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276175
Running strings on the DbocBoot entries show that they contain strings like Windows Boot Manager and Ubuntu and other old efi boot entries
bcfg boot dump -v in EFI shell does not show these variables, only Boot* variables
The fix is to remove the DbocBoot entries
Normally the files are protected therefore it is necessary to remove the protection
chattr -i /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/DbocBoot*
Then they can be removed
rm -vi /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/DbocBoot*
During the next boot there may be a warning
Warning: Corrupted BootOrder variable detected... Repaired and the boot will continue as normal.
