ok thanks I got many details from the thread...But the problem is that how can i read the RAM content through a process, i mean the space outside the process address space and how a non-portable pointer be created. How can i bypass the buffer cache in writing to the disk. And how a raw writing is possible in 2.6 kernel. Thanks in Advance...
