Re: Urgent! Anyone could give me a picture of openafs client for windows architecture?

The current openafs for windows implementation is not a kernel module.
Therefore it is neither a file system driver nor a filter driver.
The afsd_service is a user mode process that accepts file system
requests across a netbios network service.
