If anything *at all* changes. The machine reboots with a USB device plugged in. A race condition during boot goes the other way for some reason. Daylight savings time has changed. Phase of the moon (and yes, I did once find an *actual* 'phase of the moon' bug :) Relying on "My important file always has inode 93423" is a bad way to do things - why are you doing that rather than using the pathname like /sys/whatever/my/important/file ? pgpPChu7LGfPZ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
How inode of /proc. /sys keep the same number on a given system
Hello all, I observe that between reboot inode of files in /proc and /sys filesystem keep the same number. I need to know whether I can rely on this in my program, and under what conditions this assumption became incorrect? Would inode number be the same on another system burned from the same image ? I mean when I create 10 of embedded devices, will the inode /proc of same files same between all devices?
