Are you _really_ missing basic know how to understand that fsck is using the block layer of a virtual "block device" emulated by UNIX while libscg is offering _direct_ acces to _any_ type of device allowing you to send _commands_ understood by the device? fsck is just sending abstract instructions to a virtual device and does not care about Please explain me: - how to use /dev/hd* in order to scan an image from a scanner - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a CPU device - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a tape device - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a printer - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a jukebox - how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a graphical device J?rg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) J?rg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
