Dear All,
I am facing a problem while simulating a removable media via simple
block driver. But if I remove the floppy disk after mounting it, I could
not get any problem with the floppy disk. But I do not understand why I
am facing the problem with my device.
I prepared an IOCTL to simulate the removable media to the kernel.
When the applications issues IOCTL, it removes the device from the
kernel space.
when I issue #ls /mnt (mount point) ( i.e. after the application issues
the IOCTL) the CONSOLE crashes, OR it crashes when tried to unload the
module.
I have been trying hard to understand the real problem with this module.
What wrong am I doing in this module?
Could any body explain the problem? Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas G
