SubjectRe: Raw devices (Was:Re: NTFS, FAT32, etc.)
Date
: OK, I understand the issue of the unnecessary copies - although I doubt
: that systems with 'raw devices' directly 'DMA to user space' when writing
: to an SCSI disk.

s/to/from/ and the statement is absolutely correct. Raw devices use
the users buffer for the DMA. To or from the disk.
