Why not just use Apple's Disk Image Plugin API? You can have the data in any format as long as you are passing back the correct information? -----Original Message----- From: darwin-kernel-admin@lists.apple.com [mailto:darwin-kernel-admin@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Tim Hewett Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 4:03 AM To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Subject: Creating a mountable pseudo device 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?
