Hello-

I'm wanting to create a kernel device that pretends to be a physical
disk but actually exists in some other form.  What I want to do is
have the requests be given to a userland process that actually
services the request.  I understand some subsystems such as NFS use a
similar approach.

Can someone point me to some simple code that works in this way?

Thank you
John Aughey
