Thanks, therefore I can assume that raw and block device are the same thing, with no special menaning except for a syntactical one. I was not talking about using both at the same time, it does not make to me any sense to, for instance, do an fdisk and mount a disk at the same time, rather I was talking about having the two of them instead of a single one under /dev. Thanks, Luca
