Hi All,
I just want to mount the file which is basically a container of meta data for example say dev.xxx format.
I want to develop a wdf or wdm driver which can do this task for me.i did my home work properly but still new to driver development.may i need to develop a Disk/Volume filter(Upper/Lower) for the same or need
To go file system or mini filter way.i know these all are the possible ways to do that.can some one
Suggest me which one will be good.which sample i can take as an starting point.
Thanks in advance:)
You want the file to show up as a disk? Write a storport virtual miniport and use the existing storage stacks as is

Your request is kind of ambiguous. If you had your solution in place,
how would you expect to access the data? What would things look like?
There are many ways to provide access to data in a file, and only a very
few of them require kernel code.

Does the file contain a blockwise volume? or just some ZIP-style container?

Well, there are quite a few useful things that can be done by mounting a block device that is physically stored in a disk file. For example, you may want to share a disk between the physical host and a guest VM. Another example is a file system development - you may want to try it without actually backing it up by a separate physical disk/partition…

Wouldn’ mounting a .iso image be among these as well?
