Re: writes to unmounted partitions

Hi Asutosh,

It does a raw read and write. The I/O operations go through request queue and I/O scheduler but not through any file-system. The writes and reads would start from the offset that is provided in the read and write call.

Is it possible to monitor such writes ? Please explain what you mean by monitor ?

I meant how can I track the reads/writes happening to the unmounted partitions from within a kernel module ? I can do that easily when the partition is mounted. Regards.
