If you're not a filesystem engineer, you probably just really don't
want to do this. This is the level

Yep. I've also seen this reference.

Hi,
I am trying to understand how one uses raw disk i/o in Linux. I
understand that the i/o skips the kernel buffer. What I don't understand
is how a program uses it. Does one simply open the raw device and
write/read data from it? Does the device need to be formatted? Does it
have a file system

If you're not a filesystem engineer, you probably just really don't
