1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
placing, by a computing device, an input/output (IO) in a Kernel-Endpoint (KE) of a plurality of KEs, wherein the IO is sent by a host and received in a kernel;
pulling the IO in the KE from a kernel volume specific handle; and
routing the IO to a corresponding user volume associated with the IO.
