Hello, thanks a lot, Sunday is never a good day for working, what a mistake :-) ! ___________ From: Pawan Prakash Sharma [pawanprakash101@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 May 2014 15:19 To: Pietro Paolini Cc: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: mmap(): enodev Hi Pietro, Following line is buggy one if ((fd = open(FILENAME, O_RDWR) == -1)) <--- here fd will have Boolean value only it should be if ((fd = open(FILENAME, O_RDWR)) == -1) Check the operator precedence for more clarification. Also I hope the file you are opening already exists.
