Block driver Concern.

Hi all ...

I have devloped a test block driver on the host system. The driver is expected to create 16 partitions on the disc and i am using a character driver to read and write into the partitions where in i am using the request function of the block driver.

The concern is that , after inserting the driver only one partition gets created and not the all 16

There are few question that remained unanswered till now for me :-
1. How could we write a bulk of data to the partitions created by the device ?
2. While inserting the device How is it possible to create 16 partitions having the same major no.
3. How do in real case we use to write/read blocks of data to/from the disc (I have used a char driver to test )??

If any of you have worked on Block drivers or have knowledge/Experiance then please do share it with me .

Thank You
