Hi, all --

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get a setting made in the sysfs tree (in this case, /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource) to persist across reboot.

Under opensuse 10.3 using a xen kernel, the default value in this node is "xen". However, there is a bug that causes the machine to lock up if using that value, and so it needs to be changed to "jiffies", which is accomplished by doing

echo "jiffies" > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

I can add this command to an init script (boot.local, for example). But I'm wondering if there's any alternative, such as the sysctl.conf file that controls the settings under /proc/sys

Any other method would simply be a round-about way of doing EXACTLY what you are doing with your echo command. As someone who has been doing Unix and Linux administration for 15 years, my advice is this: You have a solution that works, so stick with it.

Anyone know of one?

Thanks!

Ian
