NTFS journalling IO

NTFSD
1

Hi all;
Is there any way to stop journalling activitiy on a NTFS volume. (I
guess this is a wierd question, though Ext3 supports this, ext3 can
stop its journalling activity and can act like ext2). ?
Or
Is there any way to identify journal acvity at Volume level. ?

This is wrt to logging cluster level I/O on a volume using volume
level filter. and we need to skip logging for journalling I/O.

Regards
Faraz.

Forget this. Log the journaling IO too. You have no other chances.

You can’t suppress journalling unless you mounted volume read-only. You may
be able to detect that FileObject represents log file - I believe that
IRP_MJ_QUERY_INFORMATION/FileNameInformation returns a specific reserved name
in this case.
