hi experts,
i am new to fs filters. i took the simplest example in IFS kit called
sfilter. I compiled it and installed the sys on a win2k sp4 machine which
has one driver formatted as NTFS.
after rebooting, i used devtree util of osr to check which all drives the
filter attached.
it is not attaching to ntfs in win2k at all. however, the same sys file
works fine on winxp and win2k3 based machines with ntfs.
what is the problem?
AP
This is a quote from the IFSDK:
" In Microsoft Windows XP and later, when a file system filter driver calls IoRegisterFsRegistrationChange, its notification routine is also called immediately for all currently registered file systems (that is, file systems that have already called IoRegisterFileSystem but have not yet called IoUnregisterFileSystem). "

Any help will be appreciated.

Make it boot start in the registry and reboot.

hi matt,
godd to see your post again.
If I remember correctly, sfilter is already configured to boot start. The
problem nees to be addressed in a different way. why not try manually
attaching with the different FS types?

matt,
afilter is already set to bootstart
Right, I was thinking of how IoRegisterFsRegistrationChange differs
between w2k and xp and above.
"In Microsoft® Windows® XP and later, when a file system filter driver
calls *IoRegisterFsRegistrationChange*, its notification routine is also
called immediately for all currently registered file systems "
I was thinking this was the problem of why it wasn’t attaching in W2k,
but both of you are correct. I just pulled out the inf file that comes
with the sample and indeed it is a starttype =0 so therefor, it should
attach…

i faced the same problem a few days back…never had a chance to debug it
though…
can someone quench our curiosity thirst???
We attach our filter driver on demand and it works fine across W2K and W2k3 ( attach methods are same).

Yes, so, loading early (Start=0, Group=filter) is the only chance.
