From fb0af3f2b1b613e5ea75426d454c7e5b1d1eef49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Boyer Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:07:22 -0800 Subject: pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly awkward. We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore file isn't created automatically by anything. While this method will still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs. This will put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.
