Partly because when I did consider switching to /sys, I found it to be incomprehensible (even with the LWN articles and Documentation/ files). Jonathan's articles and LCA presentation did help me start to get a better grip, but then it just didn't seem to be worth the effort. I have two simple relatively simple routines that handle all my proc entries at the moment, so that adding a new entry is just a matter of adding an element in an array of structs (saying what variable is being read/written, what type, min/max values and side effect routines, eg). It looked to me like changing to sysfs was going to require me to have a separate routine for every sysfs entry, even though they'd all have those some basic features. Maybe I'm just ignorant. Please tell me I am and point me in the right direction. Regards, Nigel -- See http://www.suspend2.net for Howtos, FAQs, mailing lists, wiki and bugzilla info.
