ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects. Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb is used for. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

What: /sys/o2cb symlink

Date: Dec 2005

Description: This is a symlink: /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb. The symlink will
|
||||
be removed when new versions of ocfs2-tools which know to look
|
||||
in /sys/fs/o2cb are sufficiently prevalent. Don't code new
|
||||
software to look here, it should try /sys/fs/o2cb instead.
|
||||
See Documentation/ABI/stable/o2cb for more information on usage.

Description: Ocfs2-tools looks at 'interface-revision' for versioning

information. Each logmask/ file controls a set of debug prints

and can be written into with the strings "allow", "deny", or
|

"off". Reading the file returns the current state.
