If it isn't a method of storage, why exactly should you be accessing it as if it were? And if you are accessing as if it were, why would you want to treat it significantly different than a normal storage volume?
It seems to me that the proper way to "sync" with the device, would be through a synchronization API like multisync or whatever it is called now, rather than trying to make it act like a filesystem. -- dobey On Tue, 2005-08-09 at 01:23 +0300, Yaron Tausky wrote: > On Mon, 2005-08-08 at 21:20 +0200, Christophe Fergeau wrote: > > I'm unsure what problem you are trying to solve here.
