Tough One on File System Drivers

Hello...

I wonder if anybody can help me on this or redirect me to a site with useful information.

I am developing a file-system driver for Win2000/NT. I don't have the IFS kit and documentation at hand and I can't find specific information on DDK documentation (or I don't know where to look at, but I don't think so - or I am blind).

What I would like to know/see is a diagram of the data flow in a system that contains such a FS driver and how that driver ties up to the host file system (NTFS in this case).
Where my FS Driver would be?
Below the NTFS driver? Apart from it? Above the driver?

The driver should mount a hierarchical file-system into some directory and manage it. The general idea would be that this driver would just translate some file paths - which will exceed 256 bytes, the rest should be untouched - just use the NTFS to do the storage.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks [red]Nosferatu[/red]

You can join their mail lists and ask your questions there. Microsoft has actually released some thir stuff on the Windows DDK examples.




Most of their programs comes with source code so you can learn how to.


You might want to get the DDK disk from Microsoft since it comes with examples including like I said a couple OSR examples.


Although it is no longer avaialbale for download you can order it for the cost of shipping a Disk.

if you have an MSDN subscription you can download it off the subscriber download page.
