Jan, thanks for your explanations. How the cache works is clearer for me now. So if I know my devices ROM number I can don't care about the directory and access them directly. It's actually what I'm doing. But still sometimes the device doesn't answer, and this is what I'm trying to troubleshoot. Anyway, first sorry to be late to give an update but I'm too busy somewhere else. So my script have been running 61 hours and have catched a lot of errors. I haven't finished to investigate these errors (to sort, filter, understand, get something from them). I'll post again later. What I can say now is: in 61hours (approximately) the script did 43920 tests (every 5 seconds) the script triggers when there is no 7 devices in /mnt/1wire (more or less than 7) the script has triggered 108 times so 108/43920 is 0.25% It means the directory /mnt/1wire has been OK 99,75% of the time, not bad! Then in these 108 errors I have different type of errors the most common is that my humidity sensor (family 26 DS2438) disappear from /mnt/1wire but there are others as well sometimes my LCD (family 29 DS2408) appears 2 or 3 times in /mnt/1wire. Sometimes, more rarely, it's inside the uncached or the output of owdir or owdir uncached where a device is missing. Anyway it's worth to mention that these errors have not been annoying during all this time because my graphs are perfect, no measure missing. But I doesn't mean I will not miss anything in the next days. I'll keep watching. I'll keep posting here.
