🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hvs* at hyperv?

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the hvs driver provides support for a Storage Virtual Service Client (StorVSC) — literally a virtual disk interface that relays device requests to the Virtual Service Provider (VSP) in the management operating system via the VMBus. The way it passes those requests along? Through VMBus, periodt ⭐.

StorVSC provides a unified interface to emulated IDE and SCSI devices 🔥. One interface, both device vibes, no cap.
