Could > you be more specific in stating how this could be used? Your "driver" needs only 6 or so files to work properly, right? Why not just create those files under /sys/bus/scsi/ somewhere? That way you don't have to create your own fs, and only have to provide read and write functions for those files, which would be much smaller. pcihpfs is moving under driverfs soon, once I get some spare cycles. > >I really like this, a user friendly kernel interface :) > > > Think this looks good for inclusion in 2.5.45? I'll let the scsi people make that call, I don't know the scsi layer at all (and don't really want to...) thanks, greg k-h
