How to write a Network Redirector

NTFSD
1

hello,
I am in a process of writing the Kernel mode Network mini redirector. I am
extending the sample nulmrx from IFS Kit .

I am a beginner at windows driver development, so the information from IFS kit about minirdr seems unintelligible to me. but I nearly can not find suitable informations about the development of minirdr for beginners.

so who can send me some material and code or a summary to do this ~

thanks a lot

There is documentation in the WDK on rdbss and mini-redirectors. It’s
a little light, though.

The best documentation is smbmrx, in the filesys directory. It’s
complicated, and you have to know a lot

Not to be a downer, but this is a really bad project for a kernel-
mode novice. smbmrx is 60K lines. That is a lot of code, and is a
long project for an experienced, fast kernel-mode programmer.

With said, I’d focus on understanding smbmrx and nulmrx.

Good luck.

I will echo what Steve said, this is a very complex project for a newbie.
If this is for work, and is really needed consider using the OSR File
System Development Kit http://www.osr.com/toolkits_fsdk.shtml. While the
kit is expensive, it will actually save you money since the amount of time
and effort you will need is significantly less. I believe the kit still
includes a sample NFS redirector that was completed in a few weeks.
