That one had me going for a while also :) Read is handled by the tty layer, all we need to do is stuff the flip_buffer. I've been using it for my daily syncs for a couple weeks now. Most of the problems I was having were with the device resetting when using pppd, but that seems solid now also. > > > > Only one program would have desktop0 open. That's not really > > accurate ...

Sort of makes me think of fsck'ing a disk while it is mounted though .... With the right FUSE layout the sync could be done with it, think opensync's file sync. That way we wouldn't have to deal with an opensync plugin for the rim. Dealing with opensync is not a great deal of fun, as I'm sure you are aware .... > > Is there any way of telling which file descriptor is talking to the tty, > in the kernel module?

I'm new to the kernel also :) I think the file descriptor would probably be the same, but you could burrow down to find the pid of the process, somehow. fd, pid would probably be a unique indicator. Your patches break my build :( Not terribly bad though.
