API for Disk head position

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
For most the Rotational Latency Reducing algorithms (SATF-Shortest Access Time First) <www.hpl.hp.com/research/ssp/papers/HPL-CSP-91-7rev1.pdf> we need to know the Disk Head Position. Is there an API to find this? Mostly this kind of API stuff most be given by the disk device driver. So does the Hard Disk Driver in Linux provide such an API?

Thanks for the information,
Libin Varghese.
