Hello linux-api'ers There has been some ongoing discussion about the best way to implement tape statistics. The original method suggested a long time ago used a single file in sysfs similar to block statistics in sysfs. That lead to an impass about the code on the linux-scsi mailing list. The sysfs documentation says that files should contain one item per file (with some small exceptions): > "Attributes should be ASCII text files, preferably with only one value > per file. It is noted that it may not be efficient to contain only one > value per file, so it is socially acceptable to express an array of > values of the same type." The current patch that implements tape statistics is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=142112067313723&w=2 Recently there was was another discussion here about one file vs a collection of files for tape statistics: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=142316255501550&w=2 The result was that I should ask here what method I should use. I would like to get feedback in relation to tape statistics and one file vs multi-file in sysfs. I'm happy to keep the existing code or change to a single file approach.
