Hi,
Is there a some kind of __disk_abstraction__ existent in Linux? I am trying to write a Cryptographic disk driver for linux. But AFAIK, I would have to write a pseudo disk interface viz. some disk abstraction driver. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.
Balaji Raghavan.

There already exists such a driver, at least in Linux 2.6. It's part
of (or at least related to) the loopback driver.
