*
* IOLogicalDisk.h - Public interface for Logical Disk Object.
*
* HISTORY
* 05-Mar-91 Doug Mitchell at NeXT
* Created.
*
* IOLogicalDisk is an abstract superclass which conceptually overlays
* the IODiskDevice class and provides "logical partition" functionality.
* Unix File System I/O goes thru a subclass of IOLogicalDisk; other I/O
* usually goes thru a subclass of IODiskDevice (like SCSIDisk).
*
* The main functionality provided by an IOLogicalDisk is to map read and write
* requests to a physical device which has diffferent physical
* characteristics (block size, offset of partitions, etc.) than the
* IOLogicalDisk.
*
* An IOLogicalDisk is always associated with an IODiskDevice which actually
* performs all of IOLogicalDisk's I/O; this IODiskDevice's id is kept in
* _physDevice. An IOLogicalDisk is always in the same task as its associated
* _physDevice.
*
* IODiskDevice's _logicalDisk instance variable is used to chain together all
* of the IOLogicalDisks attached to a particular physDevice. In an
* IOLogicalDisk, logicalDisk points to the next IOLogicalDisk in a chain -
* e.g., partition a's logicalDisk variable points to the IOLogicalDisk
* instance for partition b. The chain is nil-terminated.
