Qual è la differenza tra / sys / class / block e / sys / block

Quando faccio una lsdelle due directory, il loro contenuto è molto simile

/ 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/

Entrambi hanno numerosi collegamenti simbolici nello stesso posto. L'unica differenza che vedo è /sys/class/block/ha sdae sda1fino a sda6quando /sys/block/ha solo sda.

Qual è la differenza principale tra /sys/block/e /sys/class/block?

Quest'ultimo esiste per motivi di compatibilità, poiché inizialmente sysfs aveva un codice dedicato per i dispositivi a blocchi, ma in seguito quelli diventarono solo un'altra "classe". Vedi commit v2.6.24-158-gedfaa7c36574:

Driver core: converte il blocco da kobject grezzi in dispositivi core

Questo sposta i dispositivi a blocchi in / sys / class / block. Creerà un elenco semplice di tutti i dispositivi a blocchi, con i dischi e le partizioni in una directory. Per compatibilità / sys / block viene creato e contiene collegamenti simbolici ai dischi.
