I was wondering if someone could explain (or illustrate) the back trace (call stack) of a call from int open( const char*, int ) all the way through to the UFS layer. I am looking at the source code and am making progress, but it is long and tedious work without a compiling and step- able code. Thanks for any help. Oh, and if this isn't a appropriate request for this list please tell me. Woolie
