Well, I am trying to write a kernel module which when inserted should created a file foo at any absolute location. This is a code snippet of the same. It returns with error No -14. This a part of the constructor code for the module. I am using 2.6.20 kernel. char x1[64]="/home/ssinha/foo"; printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world \n"); return1 = sys_open(x1,O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC,0); printk(KERN_ALERT "Returned Value is : %d. \n",return1); Am I logically wrong somewhere ?? -- Regards, Sandeep.
