Most people who ask this question immediately turn around and ask "How do I do I/O to these blocks?" That's a much harder problem, and I think it would be better if we resolved the hard problems before tackling the easy ones. What I need from you is an overall description of what your product is trying to do. From reading your questions to this list, it seems that you might have taken an early wrong turn (trying to use an I/O Media filter driver as a replacement for a file system filter driver), and are now very much lost. I'd like to take a step back and ensure that you're on the right track before we push deeper into the jungle. I recognise that you might have concerns about discussing your product on a public mailing list. If you'd prefer to handle this in private, you can open a DTS tech support incident and I can help you one-to-one. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
