And yes, what about those poor kittens? ;-) Yes, I want to know too :) >Well I'm an almost reasonable person ;-). Yes this code was mainly for >comment so it definitely needs cleaning up, although any pointers on >how/where are welcome. I have queries, is there a reason why sysfs doesn't return multiple values? So instead of asking for a filename with encoded array index, one gets a list of values? One line per value, it works, easy to use as 'flat' datafiles. And it removes index from filename. the many to many (eg. temp channel -> fan speed control channel) can be resolved same as database normalisation. Secondly is there a design document I've missed for this? What does dynamic sysfs look like to user? sub-directory per device/block or in the same directory level namespace? I damaged the patches somewhere, one didn't apply so couldn't 'see' it yet. --Grant.
