Qual é a diferença entre / sys / class / block e / sys / block

Question

Quando eu faço um ls de um dos dois diretórios, o conteúdo deles é muito parecido

/ sys / class / block

$ ls /sys/class/block
dm-0  dm-3   loop1  loop4  loop7  ram10  ram13  ram2  ram5  ram8  sda1  sda4
dm-1  dm-4   loop2  loop5  ram0   ram11  ram14  ram3  ram6  ram9  sda2  sda5
dm-2  loop0  loop3  loop6  ram1   ram12  ram15  ram4  ram7  sda   sda3  sda6

ls -lah /sys/class/block/

Ambos possuem vários links simbólicos para o mesmo lugar. A única diferença que vejo é /sys/class/block/ tem sda e sda1 até sda6 , enquanto /sys/block/ tem apenas sda .

Qual é a principal diferença entre /sys/block/ e /sys/class/block ?

    

Answer 1

O último existe por razões de compatibilidade, porque o sysfs originalmente tinha código dedicado para dispositivos de bloco, mas depois eles se tornaram apenas outra "classe". Veja commit v2.6.24-158-gedfaa7c36574 :

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks to the disks.
