mounted partitions

NTDEV

Hi, is there sure way of obtaining the devices that
correspond to each of the mounted disk partitions.

I remember examining the code Filemon, courtesy
www.sysinternals.com, and it uses a rather archaic
method of checking all drives A: to Z: in /??/
directory. This would fail in win 2000, would it not,
where mounting can be done under directories?

Is there anyway to get specific, for example to obtain
all mounted hard-disks only (and avoid other media).
or does this have to be done manually, by checing
device types once I’ve obtained the list of mounted
devices.

You will need to filter mount requests to track mounted volumes.

Use IoRegisterFsRegistrationChange, filter the control devices of all FSDs and catch the mount IRPs. This seems to be the only
reliable way.

is this a part of the ifs kit? if it is, its not an
option. I can’t afford the kit.
