Mount NTFS in Read- only mode

NTFSD

Hi,
I believe NTFS can be mounted in read-only mode on XP and later versions of
Windows OS. Is there an API available to do? Is there any procedure to be
followed by Volume Filter Driver?

TIA

Try returning STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED to IOCTL_DISK_IS_WRITABLE.
