Unfortunately, this doesn't work with grep of openSUSE 12.2, because there grep treats /sys files as binary files and doesn't give the content as output but just a "Binary file ... matches" line per file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grep . /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/* Actual Results: # grep . /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/* Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/full_scans matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_unshared matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_volatile matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run matches Binary file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs matches Expected Results: # grep . /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/* /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/full_scans:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan:100 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_unshared:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_volatile:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run:0 /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs:20 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
