Hi, i am a firmware engineer from PHISON. My team develop a PCIE interface ATA storage device(Called SSD), support Burst-PIO and Bus Master DMA Mode, and can be running in Windows and Mac OS, but it can't running in Linux! i am sure that system can get the device and provice correct BAR address, but Linux don't know it is a storage device, so how can i make it support to running in Linux?

I'm going to create multiple boot environment on my notebook machine (Windows with several Linux distros). Is it good idea to create only one swap partition and share it among all installed linuix distros? I mean the same swap space (partition) will be used as /swap for all installed distros. Could one distro jeopardize another one if they all use this same swap space?

I'm writing a Linux driver for a set of proprietary USB 2.0 devices.

It is our desire to keep the driver code in user space.

I'm using Daniel Drake's libusb 1.0 (actually 0.9.3 beta) to drive a variety of gadgets. I, myself, am fairly new to USB, so this is the deep end.

Hi

I need to write a user application that detects Usb device ( disc or printer) insertion and removal

How to achieve that?

Does inotify allow to detect usb device insertion and removal?

Or is there others ways to do that ?

hi,

I have a few questions I couldn't quite get a handle on it ...

I was going through the linear.txt file of device mapper.It goes like this:-
Source:- lxr - linux/documentation/device-mapper/linear.txt

[[
34#!/usr/bin/perl -w
35# Split a device into 4M chunks and then join them together in reverse order.
36
37my $name = "reverse";
38my $extent_size = 4 * 1024 * 2;
39my $dev = $ARGV[0];
40my $table = "";
41my $count = 0;

stdin, stdout is fine for input and output. why there is specific file descriptor for stderr?.. stderr is pretty similar to stdout right?.. or is there any difference?
