Hi, Can anybody explain me how read operation on Block device (say ide device) work. The read file operations of Block device is set to generic_file_read, i.e nothing. and the ide driver does not have read routine. Then, How Block device driver or Ide Driver reads the data? for eg in this type of app. i = open(/dev/hda, O_RDONLY); read(i ,....); Thanks in advance. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
