I'm looking for a way to do FIBMAP on linux 2.4 without being root, and I learned from the archive that it's restricted for security reasons, and that it's obsolete anyway. I found this discussion about a replacement called FIONDEV: http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9906.1/0817.html However, I can't find any reference to FIONDEV in current 2.4 sources. Was anything similar ever coded? Is there a better way then FIBMAP to get the lba of a file, or are we still stuck with having to have CAP_SYS_RAWIO in order to do that? This is something that all linux dvd programs need to do in order to decrypt DVD, and it'd be nice if they didn't all have to run as root. :) Jason - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
