Well, I was planning to override the read call for my filesystem module. When I mount my filesystem and then open and read a 'virtual' file in that filesystem, I want the module to do the following: open a corresponding physical file on the real filesystem (ext3) read the corresponding contents of that file on the real filesystem, perform some computation, and then write the contents back to the real filesystem's file. return the contents of the read of the physical file to the read issued to the virtual file. So for every read of the virtual file in my filesystem, a read and write will need to be done to the corresponding file in the real filesystem. How can I do accomplish this task without calling user open,read,close calls from system space? 'npguy' may have suggested a solution but I am not sure if it will work for above described case..just my ignorance, maybe he can elaborate?
