I am writing an IDE device driver for my implementation of video server in linux. Different from conventional fs, I have to make sure that the video files "must" be saved in contiguous blocks in HD. Therefore, I need to know exactly what blocks are available, and where the files are saved. However, I can't find the part of source code that is responsible for this task in order to modify. Please help me. What else do I need to know about implementing my video server? BTW, this is a great site. I've never seen any web site as useful as this.
