Fundamental flaw in system suspend, exposed by ...
The caching a device driver would normally like to perform often does not involve data of interest to the application, but just data useful in its own operation. Eg, a RAID-5 driver might like to maintain recently-fetched blocks (and perhaps selective parity blocks) so that it would not have to re-read them from

USB device driver fails to load on one machine
I've been thinking, wouldn't it be possible to create a standard device driver library, that would allow device drivers to be written in a portable way for all OSs? The short answer is "No".

sysctl tree for device drivers. Every time a device is registered, a sysctl context is automatically created, and a node is created under dev (eg dev.cpu.0), plus any node the driver - or even another driver - wants to add. However, not everything in Unix is a device. Specifically, network interfaces aren't. [.
