Detecting the target filesystem of a partition

NTDEV

Hello all,

When trying to write to older filesystems FAT16/FAT32 there is a limit
for the largest file size… this created a problem for me. Is there
anyway to detect the filesystem type of a mounted drive letter?

GetVolumeInformation in the platform sdk returns the filesystem name.
