Hi folks,

In what scenarios will *GUID_IO_VOLUME_LOCK *be taken? I can think of Format
as one, what else can there be?

Is there any other way to acquire this lock, other than going through the
FS?

I am not sure if I get the qn properly…

Chkdisk is another one, and there can be n number of other reasons
also…anybody can do it programmatically
