If I am using a sysctl directory when the relevant unregister_sysctl_table() is called, the directory and parent directories will continue to exist. Fine. However when I cd out of the dir, the directory does not disappear. When/where do sysctl directories get collected ? thanks john -- "Euler's equation contains the five most important numbers in mathematics." - 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/
