Fs filter driver bellow the File system

Hello all,

I am confused with a File system filter driver bellow the File system , and A disk filter driver above the disk driver.

Are both drivers(File system filter driver bellow the File system , A disk filter driver above the disk driver ) same or different?

If both are different then where & how i can get more inforamtion and related material with the FS filter driver bellow the file system.

Please guide me.

regards,
Rakesh

There is no such thing as a file system filter driver
below the file system. As the name implies, this
type of driver filters requests sent to the file
system so it has to be located (in the stack) above
the file system.

What you want is a volume filter driver which sits
below the file system.
