No, actually the size passed to ioctl() is in 4 KB blocks since pages
are 4 KB wide. Output is multiplied by 4 to show size in 1 KB blocks,
not 4 KB.
Any other suggestions ? Please try it out ...
Oh, and BTw, i forgot to tell you what the bug i am encountering
actually does: when ioctl() with arg that isn't multiple of 64/4 is
called whole ioctl() finishes its job, it hangs right after printing
"about to exit(0); text (and _before_ ramdisk could output its info
about disk created). Its weird, really :-)
