31 Second: I don't think this is normal filesystem cruft like which is
32 discussed in the forum. The proc (proc <- Process information
33 pseudo-filesystem) filesystem contains information about the state of
34 your system and the running processes and there are no real files in it.
35 The same goes for /dev (udev) /sys (sysfs).
