CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER: RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN)

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER has multiple definitions:

RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) found in drivers/char/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER:

• prompt: RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_BLOCK
• defined in drivers/char/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.5.45–2.5.75, 2.6.0–2.6.2, 2.6.23–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.13
• modules built: raw, raw

Help text

The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN. Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O. See the raw(8) manpage for more details.

Applications should preferably open the device (eg /dev/hda1) with the O_DIRECT flag.

RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) (OBSOLETE) found in arch/um/Kconfig.char

The configuration item CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER:

• prompt: RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) (OBSOLETE)
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/um/Kconfig.char
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.21–2.6.25
• modules built: raw, raw

Help text

The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN. Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O. See the raw(8) manpage for more details.

The raw driver is deprecated and will be removed soon. Applications should simply open the device (eg /dev/hda1) with the O_DIRECT flag.
