MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii List-Id: Linux on Embedded PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Hi all ... I have devloped a test block driver on the host system. The driver is expected to create 16 partitions on the disc and i am using a character driver to read and write into the partitions where in i am using the request function of the block driver. The concern is that , after inserting the driver only one partition gets created and not the all 16 There are few question that remained unanswered till now for me :- 1. How could we write a bulk of data to the partitions created by the device ? 2. While inserting the device How is it possible to create 16 partitions having the same major no. 3. How do in real case we use to write/read blocks of data to/from the disc (I have used a char driver to test )?? If any of you have worked on Block drivers or have knowledge/Experiance then please do share it with me . Thank You Misbah <>< 2. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Block-driver-Concern.-tp17555236p17555236.html Sent from the linuxppc-embedded mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
