how are you planning on exposing the FS? using the OS defined FS APIs?

Yes....my intention would have been to use the FS APIs.

Are you suggesting that at some future date UMDF will be an option ?

This has been discussed on beta newsgroups about UMDF. Basically, the
framework is far from capable of supporting a file system since it does not
redirect many requests.

You are going to have to do this in the kernel, with the IFS kit. Look at
the mini-redirector samples and documentation expect this to be a long and
painful development with a schedule of 12 to 18 months.
