It can be bound to any block devices to provide genuine Unix raw character device semantics. Does that mean that this device can intercept the communications to/from the specific block device? It seems not. I've tested that on floppy disk device. Is that true? Can anyone give me an example of how to test this raw character device? Thanks in advance.
