Hiding Physical Disk Devices ??

NTDEV
1

In my driver, I want to hide some of the physical disk
devices and instead export some virtual disk devices.
These virtual disk devices will have some mapping with
the actual physical disks. I have following questions
in this context:

  1. Is it possible to hide physical disk devices ? If
    yes, how ?

  2. Where should I place my filter driver ? Should it
    be a upper/lower filter driver of disk class driver ?

You can either claim disks in a disk lower filter driver or hide disks completely in a
scsibus PDO filter driver.

Filter the disk and mark in off-line when it gets a query
