Hi all,
I am tring to figure out how the read and write operations on
raw block device (/dev/hda) works.
By looking at the source code i found that the sys_write calls the vfs
functions. is it true for raw device also.
Does it uses page cached? i mean is the sectors cached on raw access?
How exactly is the Generic Ide Driver's function is called on Write.
Thanks in advance.
