Hi all,
I need to build a filter driver which can monitor the disk accesses ( read / write ) along with the data bytes involved at block level…
What kind of a filter driver should i build?
Are there any samples available?
Thanks.

You need a disk filter, take a look at the diskperf sample under the current
DDK. You should consider KMDF, while it does not have a disk filter
example, it makes writing a filter so much easier that it is worth the
consideration.

WDM filter driver for a disk stack. DiskPerf is a sample.
