ioctl(MEMGETINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Lorenzo Orsatti]

Hallo,

Trying to format a DiskOnChip 2000 with the nftl_format, I obtain:

/mnt/usb1 # ./nftl_format /dev/doc
$Id: nftl_format.c,v 1.24 2005/11/07 11:15:13 gleixner Exp $
ioctl(MEMGETINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device

where /dev/doc is a block device and it has major 93 and minor 0.

I use a Vanilla kernel 2.6.10 with the NAND drivers installed.

What is the cause? What should I do?

TIA

Lorenzo
