Supposing i create a file of size 10K, it will occupy 2 blocks (4K each).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I must be missing something obvious. Why does a file of 10K only needs 2 blocks of 4K ? You haven't mentioned that it has any holes in it.<br>

Now if i want to read only 1 block from it how can i do it?<br>
<br>
read(fd, buf, 4096) ;<br>

Thanks<br>
