Hey Group;
I am running SuSE 10.3 alpha - which runs very nice. I do have a question. Permissions are rather easy to figure out but what is NEW that causes root to not be able to "mkdir" in several places as in /sys.
No one should ever be calling 'mkdir' in /sys.
At boot time I get a error message that states my modem /sys/class/net/modem0/file is missing. As a test I was going to mkdir /sys/net/modem0 and see if that would solve the boot error message. so, mkdir /sys/class/net/modem0 give permission denied error yet root:root and drwxr-xr-x are valid. This appears to be a udev issue.
No, /sys is "special". It's a kernel virtual filesystem and userspace can not create files in it. So please file a bug about some script looking for a file that isn't present in sysfs. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
