Or in other words, is there generic routines for block devices such that
we could:
get (set) block size of a block device;
read an existing block (e.g. block 4);
write an existing block (e.g. block 5);
Please help!!!!
TIA

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
