Daniel, My understanding is that udev is to be used for all devices (replacing hotplug) and picks up on uevents (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev for more detail) rather than tree structure and that sysctl is for things like selecting schedulers, turning on routing etc. I keep on seeing patches disabling different areas of sysfs and people saying yes we agree but need to wait for a full Debian release cycle. Not entirely sure how it all hangs together though. Ian On 6/25/07, Daniel Lawson <daniel(a)meta.net.nz> wrote:
Ian,
Following your comment on the wlug wiki at http://www.wlug.org.nz/SysFs, I was wondering if you had any more info on what sysfs is being replaced with, and what the motives were? I've looked at all the obvious places, but don't feel like trawling through lkml archives.
That said, don't go and trawl through said archives yourself if you don't know. I'll go look later on.
