You do not write/read proc files from within the kernel, that makes no sense. This is a virtual file, just modify the value that the file is showing. And please, never create new proc files, unless it really is for process information, use debugfs for "playing around" type things, that is what it is there for. greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
