Abstract

Providing a mechanism for performing special processing in connection with application I/O operations for a device includes mapping application address space to address space containing metadata for the device and providing additional local metadata therefor and providing an eyecatcher in the additional local metadata. Providing a mechanism for performing special processing in connection with application I/O operations for a device may also include determining if the application uses standard I/O operations. The metadata may include UCB data. The additional local metadata may be provided immediately following the application address space mapped to the address space containing metadata.
