"File System" type on Windows XP

NTFSD
1

This issue is specific to Windows XP. NT4 and W2K work fine.

Right click on my volume. Select “properties” and view the “General” page.
The “File System” field will display “RAW.”

I handle the FileFsAttributeInformation case within the
IRP_MJ_QUERY_VOLUME_INFORMATION Irp and fill-in my file system name in the
FILE_FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION->FileSystemName field. (I’m assuming this is
where the OS gets the name of my file system). Note, I am mounted at this
point and every thing else seems to work perfectly…it’s only this file
system string giving me grief.

Why would my file system type display as “RAW?”

Thanks for any assistance.

Check all IRP flow to your FSD during opening a property page.
One of the IRPs will surely give you a solution.

Also try GetVolumeInformation Win32 function. Does it work OK?
