Re: Is it possible to create file system drive using UMDF

No,  UMDF does not handle much of what is needed for a file system.  
There have been some commercial third party products that claim to 
support user space file system development but their quality is pretty 
much unknown.

Do you really need a file system?  This isn't Unix/Linux for /proc file 
systems, that isn't the way to manage things in Windows.  Most other 
cases you are either doing a file system for reliability or speed and 
those don't fit well with a user space effort.
