Hello,
I wrote a module to change the underlying block_device of a bio
structure. It works, but the first processed page is always filled with
junk. All the remaining pages are processed correctly.
I tried it under a 2.6.8 and a 2.6.19 kernel. Does anybody has an idea
what could be wrong?
Thanks and regards,
Jochen

My Makefile looks like this:
obj-m += biomod.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
And after creating the device node with "mknod /dev/pd1 b 241 0", I try
to read with: "dd if=/dev/pd1 of=./output count=2000"
The error occurs, regardless of the values for count (and skip).
