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. -Kaustubh _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
