Hello,
according to the relayfs description on opersys.com, |As the Linux kernel matures, there is an ever increasing number of facilities |and tools that need to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to user |space. Up to this point, each of these has had its own mechanism for relaying |data. To supersede the individual mechanisms, we introduce the "high-speed |data relay filesystem" (relayfs). As such, things like LTT, printk, EVLog, |etc. This sounds to me like it would obsolete most character-based devices, e.g. random and urandom. What do the relayfs developers say to this?
