45 | The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | ||
46 | is read-write. When read, it's contents show the | ||
47 | online/offline state of the memory section. When written, | ||
48 | root can toggle the the online/offline state of a removable | ||
49 | memory section (see removable file description above) | ||
50 | using the following commands. | ||
51 | # echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | ||
52 | # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state | ||
53 | |||
54 | For example, if /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/removable | ||
55 | contains a value of 1 and | ||
56 | /sys/devices/system/memory/memory22/state contains the | ||
57 | string "online" the following command can be executed by | ||
58 | by root to offline that section. | ||

68 | /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY is a symbolic link that | ||
