Yes you will need the IFS kit. There is a new filter model available in the
current beta kit that will make things easier. You should seriously
consider taking a course on the subject from OSR see
http://www.osr.com/seminars_dfsw2_5dl.shtml If you can afford it consider
getting the File Systems Filter Driver Kit from OSR
http://www.osr.com/toolkits_fddk.shtml this is pricy but may give you much
of what you need.

Hi,

Reading Rajeev Nagar’s book on File System Internals would be a very good start to understanding the world of Windows NT kernal, filtering and file system internals.
