The /proc file system is not a real file system. It is a "pseudo-file system", see "man proc". AFAIK, it is under the control of the kernel and doesn't or may not act as one may expect. I'm not into kernel development. So, the what is and wherefores are outside of my pay grade. I just accept that "this is the way things work" in this case. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
