sysfs is a Linux pseudo filesystem that is used to export information, and runtime configuration support from drivers into userspace. By convention ([LSB]) it's mounted on <tt>/sys</tt>. The [sysfsutils|http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html] package contains a library and command line tool (<tt>systool</tt>) to explore <tt>/sys</tt> and display and alter current settings. The [Debian] package at least uses this tool to provide boot time configuration of SysFs values through the <tt>/etc/sysfs.conf</tt> file. Also note that some kernel options are still configured through <tt>/proc/sys</tt> or using <tt>sysctl</tt> and at boot time through <tt>/etc/sysctl.conf</tt>. See SysctlNotes for more information. ---- CategorySystemAdministration, CategoryNotes
