Hi,

I am a newbee in this this area. I found the release of User Mode Driver
Framework seem interesting for driver development. I wonder if it is possible
to develop a filter driver for File System using the user mode framework.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Can File Ssystem filter driver be implemented using UMDF? by Don

No, it cannot. There are a lot of calls for a file system filter that have
to run in kernel context. Also, UMDF only implements the calls needed for
a standard device driver, a number of other I/O requests are needed for a
file system filter.
