All, <Proxying for a workmate - I'll get her on the list directly... eventually> ================================================================= I have a scsi device defined with no partitions. I am able to open the device successfully by giving fp = open("/dev/sda",...) however when I do a read on fp the driver code doesn't get invoked. I guess I have to do something before I can access the device. Can anyone tell me what is that I have to do to be able to access the device ? Do I have to mount the device after making a file system? ================================================================= Thanks much for any enlightenment.
