+one is detected and the package commands have completed.
+
+For systems using an initial ram disk (initrd), `efi-sync watch` watches
+/lib/modules and /lib/firmware for updates.  Your system is assumed to use one
+if '/etc/mkinitrd.conf' is present on start.  Once changes are detected, the
+initrd file is recreated using 'mkinitrd' and with the result installed into
+the EFI.

+You will need to manually install the initrd if it was recreated outside of
