The Storage Manager directly loads file systems, instead of block drivers. For more information about the Storage Manager, see Storage Manager.
When the Storage Manager receives a detach notification from the Device Manager, it unloads the store. A store is a block device that is exposed through a stream interface. The store then in turn unloads each file system driver and partition driver associated with the detached device. For more information about notifications, see Device Interface Notifications.
