Would it be possible (by definition) to have /dev/hdX* and /dev/sdX*
(sdX not tested) to report their *real* size as file sizes?
I have an application (UAE, should be well-known) which works perfectly
if I copy /dev/hd.. to a file first, but doesn't work with 0 byte "files".
What's the reason for device specials not to report their sizes?
ciao,
johnny
