Subject: mmap on a block device
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 09:57:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=-UF15E29ffD8PHeT5eodQVC142g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello All,
Is it possible to mmap on a block device? I am writing my own kernel space
filesystem on Linux (academic project). I am writing a user space tool to
format the block device (again my own ramdisk driver). It would be much
simpler if I could just mmap the block device into my address space.
