libsysfs is for C or C++ programs that want easy access to sysfs. As |
| 14 |
his program is in python, it's much easier to just do it all in python, |
| 15 |
instead of having to use libsysfs. |

Anyway, I don't think that libsysfs would be able to differenciate |
| 18 |
between root block devices, and the individual partitions, but it's been |
| 19 |
a while since I looked at that portion of libsysfs. |
