As described in
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/0166.html
files in /sys change their size if they are written to.
But what disturbs me a little bit is this:
$ ls -la /sys/block/hdb/queue/iosched/est_time
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2004-06-28 20:15 est_time
$ echo 0 > /sys/block/hdb/queue/iosched/est_time
bash: est_time: Permission denied
$ ls -la /sys/block/hdb/queue/iosched/est_time
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2004-06-28 20:15 est_time
ie. files change their size even if they are not writeable!
I believe that this should be cleaned up.
As bugzilla.kernel.org says "no distribution kernels" I'm posting to
debian-bugs first.
