Hmmm... It's really bad idea for working with config files... But, mainly I want to do the next thing: I want to map some file as block device (i.e. I want that /dev/??? file is appeared and it's content was identical to the content of my file)... But, I solved this problem already by use flip_open(..., ..., ...)->f_op->read/write. (BTW, is it normal way to use file, or not???)
Thank you for help.
Bye...
