Hello,
I am trying to find out how to create a device which can be mounted
and ejected in the same kind of way as a disk image. I.e. a disk image
isn't a real physical device as such, but it can be mounted and
presumably there is a process which acts as a translator between
the contents of the disk image and the kernel's wish to reference it as
a filesystem.
I would like to do something very similar but cannot find any
documentation
describing an API or any examples demonstrating this. Any suggestions
on where to find this info would be much appreciated.
Also would it be necessary to write this, or part of it, in kernel
space,
or is it possible to do it entirely in user space?
Regards,
Tim.
