Would you have time to prepare a list of existing and planned > applications? Sure. I know that systemtap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap/) is using relayfs and that LTT (http://www.opersys.com/ltt/index.html) is also currently being reworked to use it. I've also added a couple of people to the cc: list that I've consulted with in getting their applications to use relayfs, one of which is the logdev debugging device recently posted to LKML. I also know that there are still users of the old relayfs around; I don't however know what their plans are regarding moving to the new relayfs. My own personal interest is to start playing around with creating some visualization tools using data gathered from relayfs. Hopefully, I'll have more time to do that if relayfs gets merged. ;-) Hope that helps, Tom
