That's clearly a limit... and "cp" was unable to read the whole thing, it stopped at 4K. "dd" could read everything though: dd bs=1k count=8 did it. Something seems odd with binary sysfs files in general. I've observed something zapping size down to zero after userspace did some oddball reads ... of the "past EOF" variety, ISTR. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
