How to detect subst/network drive creation/deletion?

Hi everyone!

Is there any way how I can automatically detect in the driver
that a substituted drive or a network drive has been
created or deleted?

TIA,

Vladimir,

As I see it there are two options.

  1. Attach to the filesystem devices, like \Fat, \Cdfs, \Ntfs and
    \Device\LanManRedirector. “Listen” to IRP_MJ_FILESYSTEM_CONTROL, with
    minor code IRP_MN_MOUNT_VOLUME.

  2. Let your service recognize arrival and removal of devices, and send
    an IOCTL to your driver to attach to or detach from the drive.

If found that #2 is ok for recognizing CD-media insertion/removal and
network drive insertion/removal. Option #2 however does not allow you to
“see” changes when a user switches floppy disks.
