Hello:
The block device, must be accessed just through the file system?

Thats one of the things you should decide yourself-since this is a part of the phylosophy of your os. If you decided to do like in Unix, then yes, all block devices must be accessed through the file system, but you could do it differently.(Like have a device manager, and then get the needed device as an object from it(like a dynamicly linked dll), and then use this interface)

Thank you.
Really I am looking for the way that the majority of OS do it, I have not a 'device manager' desing yet.
I am trying to get the easiest way to handle the block devices (and all other devices).
