Intercept format command

NTFSD

Hello
I am written a file system filter driver based on SFilter from MS DDK. I
wish to do some work when a format command is issued for a drive. Cani
somehow intercept the format command in the driver.
Thanks.

You can only intercept lock and dismount attempts, and also CREATE with
empty filename (DASD create). At FSD/block device level, there is no “FORMAT
command”. Also you will not be able to distinguish FORMAT from CHKDSK at this
level.
