The file I was talking about is located in
/sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.eb00/online .

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.
