I wanted to permanently store some values in the file and read it from the module so that the values are not lost even after reboot. Is there anyother method to workaround this?. But the file size is big. Doing a fileoperation read is slow. Can the file can be mapped into user space where the module can access?. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
