Hello, Sorry for my poor explanation. I'm trying to write a disk driver that opens a socket and sends some information to the other system. Its works perfectly. My problem is that when the network fails, the information isn't sent. I want to lock the device when its occurs, and I thought that I could use the function media_changed to check if the network is ok. To do this lock I'm looking for some flag or instruction that marks the device as inaccessible, or busy. This helps me because in this way the device doesn't have requests and wait until network recover. I explain it better?? thanks for all jordi Manish Regmi escribió: > On 5/10/06, Jordi Vaquero <jvaquero@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hello all, >> I'm writing a removable driver for a disk device.
