Hi Ben,

hmmmmmmm.... well why don't you just open the file the "normal" way ( with open( "/Volumes/Volume_name/test.txt", "" )? You can get the Volume name with PBGetVolumeInfo ( or a similiar command, or you just know the volume name and don't change it ). If you really need to open it over the block device then you need to be root. And i'd rather not play around with the block files in root, because you might, by mistake, write to the wrong block device ( startup hard drive ) and this would result in data loss. If you really want to do it though then try /dev/disk1s1 and read in blocks ( i assume 512 bytes ).

Fabian
