After reading microsoft Single Instance Store(SIS) document, I believe Ravi
is right. Every driver has its purpose, it is danger to use it without
knowing detail. Even you know how to use, if they make any modification it
might cause problem to you. I will give up this idea from marketing group’s
suggestion. I will write my own filter driver.
Right now I need help from you. Does any one has experience post any message
for me? I need to know:
- How to prepare the stub file. As I know I need to have the reparse point
tag and GUID and prepare a REPARSE_GUID_DATA_BUFFER. Using DeviceIoControl
to send FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT function, right? - What the filter driver needs to set in order for system to pass
REPARSE_GUID_DATA_BUFFER to this filter driver. This is not document
clearly in the filter driver.
Thank you for any help.
