I'm working on a revamp of the MTD core which would start exposing attributes by sysfs, which would mean a lot of the ioctl problems go away. I suspect it would be OK simply not to export the whole OOB, until that's done. I posted other code which can export things in sysfs already -- perhaps we don't need to wait until the core rewrite is done? -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@intel.com Intel Corporation
