Abstract
A Windows file system can be attached to a remote non-Windows disk stack thereby allowing a mass storage device to be redirected at the disk level even though a client terminal is running a non-Windows operating system. A client-side proxy can include a disk provider that is configured to obtain disk information from a mass storage device connected to the client terminal and provide it to the server-side agent. A virtual disk enumerator on the server can employ the disk information to emulate a disk stack so that a Windows specific file system can be loaded on the server. Any Windows-specific management commands that target the mass storage device can be handled by the virtual disk enumerator using the disk information, whereas any access commands can be routed to the disk provider which can interface with a non-Windows disk stack on the client terminal for handling.
