Subject: RO permission on odd numbered MTD devices?
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 17:16:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002a01c14150$66554d20$26e8b2c6@hawk> (raw)
Can anyone tell me why the odd numbered MTD character devices are ReadOnly?
I see the code in MTDCHAR.C, but I have no idea what it was setup this way.
/* You can't open the RO devices RW */
if ((file->f_mode & 2) && (minor & 1))
return -EACCES;
Thanks for any understanding you can provide...
-Mike

Say "boolah boolah boolah" out loud three times,
wave a dead chicken, and reboot.
Works for me...
