Is the mount manager device always the same device as the device for volumes, for example the device for \Device\HarddiskVolume1, is also the mount device ?
Yes, for usual partitions on fixed disks, the volume device object
(\Device\HarddiskVolume1) carries the “mounted device” interface.
This device object is created by FtDisk, MountMgr only assigns names to it.
Note that for dynamic disks (software RAID) the name is other, and
DmIo/VolMgr is used instead of FtDisk.

Great, thank you, I asked because I wanted to know if I can send this device the IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_XXX control codes.
