Registry entry for a disk partition filter driver

For such a task, I once did a bus filter driver, which will attach the FiDOs to partition device objects on their way up in MN_QUERY_RELATIONS path.

Subject: [ntdev] Registry entry for a disk partition filter driver

Hi,

In case of diskperf an entry ‘Upperfilters’ is added to the disk class guid entry.(HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\control\class{guid}.

If i do this, my filter start’s intercepting every irp to the hard disk.Then what does the addfilter(NTDDK) do by attaching a filter to some partition?

How do i filter a specific ‘partition’ on the harddisk?

The filter has to get loaded at the boot time, and it’s IRP_MJ_READ/WRITE dispatch routines shouldn’t intercept any of the other partitions’ irps.

What should be the registry entries for the above specified scenario?

How do i hard code the partion’s device-object name in the adddevice routine?

Please do reply.I have tried many things and im at my wits end.

V.S
