Just for information - Jan's statement "kernel never read files" is not true, IMHO. It should better read "kernel should avoid reading files on fs as much as possible". For example: drivers/sound/maui.c::init_maui() & others, calling mod_firmware_load() And I've seen many third-party patches, which perform reading files quite often (for example LIDS intrusion detection system). -- JiKos. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
