Error editing /proc/scsi scsi file

Thaidog · 08-26-2004, 06:06 AM

Is there a way to edit the scsi file at /proc/scsi so that I have all my scsi divices listed even if they are not detected or the drivers for the adapters are loaded?

I keep getting the following error when I try to edit the file in pico:

As far as I know, /proc is a virtual file system and cannot be written to by us mere mortals.

/proc cannot be written

Not exactly as you can modify some file... For example, to enable IP forwarding, you can do:

Code:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

But that's true that in /proc filesystem a lot of files are read-only
