    Virtual Disk Driver for mounting folders

    Hello all,

    I don't have an actual development question, but rather need some indications on finding some documentation, articles or, if possible, open source code for a virtual disk driver for mounting folders. Something similar to what the "subst" command (which I don't really know if it communicates with a driver) is doing. However, I would need to do this with a driver. Any other ideas or advices are welcome.

    I have found a *lot* of driver examples for mounting CD/DVD images, but that's a bit different from what I am trying to accomplish.

    Thanks,
    Marcel

    I don't have an answer for you unfortunately but since you don't want to handle CD/DVD images and similar what's wrong by using subst?
    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    Hi S_M_A,

    Thank you for your answer! It would have been so easy to use subs, but unfortunately a virtual disk driver is a requirement of this project. Later other features will be added to it, which could be done only in kernel mode.

    Thanks,
    Marcel
