MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi All, I am writing a libata-complaint SATA driver for an ARM board. I want to do data streaming from a tuner into the SATA hard disk. In other words, I am getting a buffer of stream in kernel space, which I had to store it in SATA hard disk. Can I use filesystem (eg., XFS) to put the buffer into the SATA hard disk without getting into user space. What I mean, can I write an Linux Kernel Module to route data stream from one device into SATA hard disk. Thanks, deven -- "A smile confuses an approaching frown..."
