[rtl] rocketing data from-to disk

[Paolo Mantegazza <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>]

Hi,

has anyone a suggestion to improve the raw speed to-from disk?
So far I've copied the code from "dd" sys command and got a pretty fast
throughput.
There is any other way to improve it? Does LINUX have a raw disk access
like the one found in UNIX, i.e. the same disk dev seen as a block, e.g.
/dev/hda1, or as a raw character device, e.g. /dev/rhda1? The use of
"ls" indicates that the answer is no, but it is possible I'm missing
something.

Thank for any clue.

Ciao, Paolo.
