It would sort of make sense, as /proc is read-only, right?
Not at all, but reads/writes to "files" in proc are handled not by reading/writing the bits from/to some medium, but rather receiving/presenting them from/to specific kernel functions.
In particular, there are still a number of tunable parameters under /proc/sys, IIRC.
I thought the things in /proc that were for system tuning and all were moved out of /proc.
Not yet on my oS 11.1.
I confess that I have had less need for this these days, so I have not kept current on it.
I think there was some work to try and move this stuff to a "configfs" filesystem and reduce proc to just /proc/<pid> stuff and /proc/foostat stuff. I haven't actually used a Linux system that did so though. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
