https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems?h=v6.8.1 The Linux Kernel sources have a Documentation tree that documents many aspects and features of the kernel. There may be a kernel-doc package you can install that should put that documentation right onto your system in /usr/share/doc/kernel/. Do note: reading the docs about /proc and /sys (procfs and sysfs respectively) may give ideas - write those ideas down if you decide to try them out so you have a record of what you might have done on the system. It can be relatively easy to unintentionally cause bad performance by poking around with those settings. Happy learning! -- Kind regards, /S
