the idea was to load a module passing the path as a module argument so I could access the underlying block device through the link without having to worry about the real block device path.
I hope you realize that scribbling on a block device without making *damned* sure you're talking to the right *real* block device is just asking for data corruption, right? What problem are you *really* trying to solve here? It sounds like your design has some serious layering violations.... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
