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. -Kaustubh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
