Hi James, /sys is an interface to drivers, like the qeth driver. /sys comes only with 2.6 kernels, like SLES9.
As an example, you can echo 1 or 0 to a file in /sys (don't have access to a z/VM Linux machine right now - something like /sys/ drivers/qeth/ccwgroup/... ) to turn online or offline a qeth interface. As far as I know, there is no need to backup /sys and /proc. On 11-Jul-2006, at 15:23, James K Barnett wrote:
Hello, First time posting on here, but enjoy going through the emails. quick backround. Running sles 9 under VM 5.2 I was using rsync to do a few directory level backups, and get a handfull of permission denied on /sys/devices/qeth files. It seems these files are --w------- only. Can someone give me a reason why, and if it would be ok to change them to rw? Thanks.
