They are completly different things. sysfs shows all of the devices (virtual and real) and their inter-connectedness within your system. procfs is a grab bag collection of whatever crud people wanted to export from the kernel at the moment and didn't know where else to put it. Oh and procfs contains process information, which is the only real valid use for it :) Mount sysfs and poke around, you should see the difference pretty easily. greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
