Hello, > Is there a function, or other way, to get a harddrives geometry (heads, > sectors, etc...)? You can use the gendisk interface which is declared in <linux/genhd.h>. You can use: struct gendisk *alloc_disk(int minors); to obtatin the gendisk interface with the minor number of the device (hard disk partition). Then you need to add your disk with: void add_disk(struct gendisk *disk); To put the disk readonly: void set_disk_ro(struct gendisk *disk, int flag); Then you can add/delete partitions, look the capacity of the disk and so on, look the declared functions in genhd.h. That's used in 2.5 mainly but I remember that it was added in 2.4. I expect that it would be usefull for you.
