Disable kernel debugfs
Low Severity
debugfs
is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and write to these files. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at
/boot/config-*
. To check the configuration value for
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
, run the following command:
grep CONFIG_DEBUG_FS /boot/config-*
Configs with value 'n' are not explicitly set in the file, so either commented lines or no lines should be returned.
