Actually in Solaris(8/9/10) We have Something an Modular Kernel/Multi Threaded Kernel That Allows File Systems to be stacked over an Volume Manager. So we Have something for example like Veritas Volume Manager In the case of Certain Storage Device Based on an particular vendor. What clarification requirement for this proposal is that is it an Generic Interface to be added as C/C++ routine, Which would solve the problem Of an Modular/Multithreaded kernel or an hands modification of each of These volume managers.
Thanks for your response.

Is it SVM (Solaris Volume Manager) ?
