Hey Karthik; the problem with this program is that you are trying to use kernel datastructures from userspace. What you are trying to do can only be done in the kernel[1], but this is a userland program. Take a look at one of the various module programming guides for information on starting your own kernel module, and try to stuff some of this code into a module. [1] well, ok, /dev/kmem can let you do this from userland, but if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be trying this. :) You might be able to directly parse the filesystem yourself, which is how I imagine the e2fs tools work. -- http://sardonix.org/
