Re: set blksize of block device

If nobody could answer this question, what about another one? Is there a system call or a kernel interface that would allow me to write a block of data to block 1 of a certain block device?

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Hello,

I am learning block device drivers and have a newbie question. Given a block device, is there anyway that I could set its block size? For example, I want to write a block device driver that will work on an existing block device. In this driver, I want block size smaller. (The idea looks confusing but I could explain if anybody is interested :- ) However, typically the block size is 1KB, now I want to set it to 512 or 256. Can I do it?

TIA
Lei
