Yes, the /sys/module/aoe area is only present when the aoe driver is a module. It would be nicer if there were a sysfs area where I could put this file regardless of whether the driver is a module or built into the kernel. I could probably create one, but I got the file in /sys/module/aoe/parameters for free when I used module_param_string. >> + /sys/module/aoe/parameters/aoe_iflist instead of > ^^^ > > Why does the module name need to be part of the attribute? > That's redundant. That's redundant. Yes. That's true. Redundancy isn't always bad, though, and using the "aoe_" prefix lets the kernel parameter for the built-in aoe driver be the same as the parameter for the modular driver. -- Ed L Cashin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
