That would require some cross-filesystem knowledge of what is going on, and I really don't want to do that. Also, some systems (read enterprises), don't want to mount debugfs on their boxes, as they feel it is information they don't want their users to see. But like it available to be mounted if they need it. Which means it's a user-configurable policy, and we should just let the user pick what they want to do. Also, don't get me started on the people who like mounting debugfs at /debug on their filesystem :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
