hi,
i am writing an encryption filter driver.
if my driver reads from the file system, encrypts the data and writes it
back, will the file system write the data back to the same physical location
or otherwise?

Hi,
Assuming only FAT and NTFS, and that you are not encrypting compressed
NTFS files, yes. Otherwise, no.

Also throw in the assumption that no other file system filter is on the
stack doing something interesting. Since any assumption on the
possibility of other filters is a bad idea (someone will always do it
and your code is then wrong), you should never assume this will
work.

Usual file systems - yes, but conceptually there are log-structured FS
which do all new write to a new block. No LFSs are shipped with NT,
they are used in SAN/NAS boxes.
