Subject: [gentoo-dev] Stability of /sys api

Message-Id: 20120514075353.GB5819@waltdnes.org
1 After some Google-searching, I think I've figured out how to implement
2 automounting under mdev. I'd like to put in as much sanity-checking
3 into the script as possible. Right now I have 1 USB stick plugged in as
4 /dev/sdb. Th hard drive is /dev/sda. The "removable" data is readable
5 like so...
6
7 cat /sys/block/sda/removable
8 0
9
10 cat /sys/block/sdb/removable
11 1
12
13 My question... is this API stable or deprecated? I.e. can I count on
14 it being around for a while? I figure this question is a developer type
15 question rather than ordinary user type.
