Determine File System for Volume (W2K)

NTFSD
1

I have a PDEVICE_OBJECT (returned by IoGetDeviceObjectPointer) for a
volume. I am able to issue IoControl calls like
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER and IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS
but none of these structures tell me the file system (FAT32, FAT, CDFS,
NTFS). I also looked at DeviceObject->Vpb->Type but this is “10” for all
volumes.

I even tried opening the volume with ZwCreateFile (using the drive letter)
and successfully used IoQueryVolumeInformation with FileFsVolumeInformation
to obtain the FILE_FS_VOLUME_INFORMATION but this doesn’t tell me the file
system either.

How do I get the file system type (CDFS, FAT32, NTFS, etc) for a volume?

Thank you,
Ray Martin

You can try IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO, the return structure has the
PartitiopnType. I think it won’t work on dynamic disks only on basic disks.

Read the boot sector ( first 512 bytes ) of volume, you can figure out the
type from there.

Hello rmartin,

Use IoQueryVolumeInformation.(see in the ntifs.h).

How do I get the file system type (CDFS, FAT32, NTFS, etc) for a volume?

IoQueryVolumeInformation/FILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION.

Maybe you should try the FileFsAttributeInformation to get a
FILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION structure filled. If you look at the FAT
sourcecodes of the 2000 IFS kit you’ll see that it will not fill the
filesystem name on FatQueryFsVolumeInfo. It will however on
FileFsAttributeInformation.

When all else fails you can always try around with
PDEVICE_OBJECT->DRIVER_OBJECT->DriverName.

Call ObQueryNameString() on the file system control device object; the one
you get on a FsNotification
call back. This will return the name of the file system (i.e.
\FileSystem\NTFS).

(more)…

POBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION NameInfo;
ULONG Length;
if ((NameInfo =
(POBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION)ExAllocatePoolWithTag(NonPagedPool, 1024,

‘mNsF’)) != NULL)
{
if (NT_SUCCESS(ObQueryNameString(DeviceObject, NameInfo, 1024, &Length)))
{
KdPrint(("%wZ is ", &nameInfo->Name));
}
ExFreePool(NameInfo);
}
if (FsActive == TRUE)
KdPrint((“loading\n”));
else
KdPrint((“unloading\n”));

This works for NT and Windows 2000.

Yet another way (from Max):

NTSTATUS GetFsKind(PDEVICE_OBJECT FsDeviceObject,
BOOLEAN* IsFat,
BOOLEAN* IsFat32)

NTSTATUS Status;
PIRP Irp;
PIO_STACK_LOCATION NextLoc;

ULONG FsNameLen;
// “FAT” or “FAT32” names will fit
UCHAR Buffer[ sizeof(FILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION) + 4 *
sizeof(WCHAR) ];
// Send IRP_MJ_QUERY_VOLUME_INFORMATION/FileFsAttributeInformation IRP
// Allocate the IRP
Irp = IoAllocateIrp((CCHAR)(FsDeviceObject->StackSize + 1), FALSE);
if( Irp == NULL )
return STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES;
// Fill the IRP
// The majority of fields are not necessary since we use
STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED
// and IopCompleteRequest will not be called for us
Irp->RequestorMode = KernelMode;
Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer = Buffer;
// Fill the IRP stack location
// DeviceObject field is filled in IoCallDriver
NextLoc = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(Irp);
NextLoc->MajorFunction = IRP_MJ_QUERY_VOLUME_INFORMATION;
NextLoc->FileObject = Store->FsFileObject;
NextLoc->Parameters.QueryVolume.FsInformationClass =
FileFsAttributeInformation;
NextLoc->Parameters.QueryVolume.Length = sizeof(Buffer);
// Do the operation
Status = CallDriverSync(FsDeviceObject, Irp);
// Set the default values
*IsFat = FALSE;
*IsFat32 = FALSE;
if( Status == STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW )
// FS name too long
// Not a FAT
return STATUS_SUCCESS;
if( !NT_SUCCESS(Status) )
// Failed
return Status;
// Extract the name from the returned structure
FsName = ((PFILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION)Buffer)->FileSystemName;
FsNameLen =
((PFILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION)Buffer)->FileSystemNameLength;
// Compare the name
if( ( FsNameLen >= 3 * sizeof(WCHAR) ) &&
RtlEqualMemory(FsName, L"FAT", 3 *
sizeof(WCHAR)) )
{
// FAT of FAT32
*IsFat = TRUE;
// Check for FAT32
if( ( FsNameLen >= 5 * sizeof(WCHAR) ) &&
RtlEqualMemory(FsName + 3, L"32", 2 *
sizeof(WCHAR)) )
{
KdPrint((“FAT32 volume\r\n”));
*IsFat32 = TRUE;
}
#if DBG
else
// FAT12/16

#endif
}
#if DBG
else
// Not FAT
KdPrint((“Not a FAT volume\r\n”));

// Done
return Status;

This is to check for FAT and FAT32 only.

The code was intended to help cluster-to-byte-offset translation.
On non-FAT, it is trivial multiplication.
On FAT, given its FAT+root directory area, this is not trivial.
