Title: Creating File System Drivers
Post by: subhadeep_ghosh on November 18, 2005, 07:38:36 AM
Hey guys,

Anyone has any idea about creating File System Drivers for Windows ?
I've got some leads but I don't know from where to start.
I tried the MSDN site at first and they are not willing to speakout a word unless you show then the green buck !!!
They ask you to get the Windows IFS Kit.
Tried to go through a project in sourceforge.net http://ffsdrv.sourceforge.net/ which I thought would give some idea.
But the code is too complex especially when you don't know what is going on.
So, if anyone of you know or have some idea about it. Please do let me know.

Hi...

You will really need the IFS kit if you want to understand/create file system drivers.

Join the OSROnline discussion list at http://www.osronline.com/
and try to get the book "Windows NT File System Internals".
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1565922492?v=glance
It is the best reference book about this subject.
