Hi,
I need to develop pseudo volume driver. I have seen example of RAMDISK and information it on this mail list. I would like to make it PNP compatible, interact with the mount point manager. I was inclining to write a root enumerated bus driver and function driver to do this job. Is this a right approach? Please suggest.

This is the most flexible and dynamic approach but it is no trivial
undertaking, at least doing it from scratch. You will essentially be
developing and writing the equivalent of the toaster example in the DDK.

You can use KMDF for both the bus driver and ramdisk function driver.
This will remove the non trivial aspects of dealing with pnp and power
and enumeration. You can crank out the bus driver in under a day if you
start with either the KMDF statbus or dynambus samples. There is also a
KMDF ramdisk sample as well.

I did consider KMDF for my development. But, I am required to support W2K platform as well. I know the next release of KMDF 1.1 will be avaliable on W2K as well. I read on this newsgroup that if there is W2K specific bug/issue with KMDF, MS will not fix it. Then, I decided to go with WDM model which I am familiar as well.
With regard to disk/volume/mountmgr, I guess i have to worry about mountpoint manager which is documented in the DDK. I need not worry about partition manager.

With respect to Win2k related fixes, what that statement means is that MSFT will not release an SP for win2k itself to fix an issue. It does not mean that KMDF will not be fixed. Unless the problem is unsolvable, the KMDF is allowed to release a new version to fix the issue.
With that said, I don’t foresee an issue that would come up. If win2k had a bug in the i/o subsystem or pnp that was that bad, I think it would have surfaced by now and fixed by SP4.

Frankly, the odds of there being a serious unfixed Win2K bug in KMDF are
much, much less than the chances of you screwing up the things that KMDF
does for you.

Try using IoReportDetectedDevice with all NULLs as parameters, this creates
a PnP PDO without any bus drivers.
Then register MOUNTDEV_MOUNTED_DEVICE_GUID interface on it. You will
receive lots of IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_xxx requests from the mount manager, respond to
them (the most important is the unique ID query).
