System governor Can’t be changed on any type of governor here it always persist the ‘on demand’ governor. Also i tried to check the write permission on the system because the scalling\_governor can be found there and it says permission denied and it gave me the conclusion whether the system was treated as read-only or it has a security that overrides the users choice to choose a system governor for a directory and/or individual.

The star is an indication of defaults. You can check the assigned governor status by looking at `core.gov` or individual `.gov` files in `MUOS/info/core`.
I’m very curious as to how you are looking at the scaling governor. Here is some information on how to check:

> [The heck is a “CPU Governor”?](#what) A CPU Governor manages the CPU’s clock speed (frequency), balancing performance and power consumption based on workload. It is part of the Linux kernel CPU frequency scaling subsystem, helping a system respond to load demands while optimising energy usage and thermal output. This information may change as additional devices are supported with different CPU governors. Generally speaking these are the typical CPU Governors you would find on a Linux based system. P…
