The sysfs virtual file system, provided by Linux 2.6 kernels, is available in RHEL 

5. It exports information about supported devices and drivers from the kernel 
device model into user space and configures devices and drivers.

For the QLogic NIC driver, the following table summarizes the sysfs locations 

and the parameters can be modified by accessing these locations.

For example:

1.

Change directory into the sysfs location where the driver parameter to be 

modified is represented as a sysfs special file/entry. For example:

# cd /sys/module/qlge/parameters

2.

Modify the sysfs entry for the corresponding driver parameter. The 

following command forces the qlge driver to use MSI interrupts. For 
example:

# echo 1 > qlge_irq_type

Driver parameter changes that you make with sysfs are effective 

immediately, and do not interrupt I/O operations on the adapter.

Driver parameter changes that you make with sysfs are not persistent 

across reboots or driver reloads.
