Indeed it is - but only by either creating a new filesystem (the old RCFS), or relying on an existing filesystem (configfs) which has limitations which make it unsuitable. > actually creating something. mkdir is usable and intuitive for resource > group creation. I agree that from userspace mkdir is a usable and intuitive interface. But I'm not convinced that the userspace gain is worth the complexity that produces. Anyhow, I'd not have any argument against the current reliance on configfs, if there was a way to make use of seq_file or some other less-constrained interface for returning things like group members, stats, etc. Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
