I am using the write entry point in a device driver to transfer data from local memory to external storage. After running for some time the write call returns with the error "File too large" (EFBIG). In the driver, I have set the variables u.u_offset = u.u_pboff = 0 when write is called. Since my file overflows, there must be another variable which keeps track of how much data was writen to the file. I would like to reset this varable, on every call to write, so that it looks like nothing was written to the file. What is the name of the variable that keeps track of how much data is writen to an open file? Frank Chlebana chlebana@oldkat.physics.utoronto.ca
