It's pointer math. sizeof(*sb) is 512. "sb + sizeof(*sb)" is the same as (void *)sb + 512 * 512. "sb + 1" is the same as (void *)sb + 512. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
