Let me ask one more question - Could I try to open the symbolic link
first to make sure that the volume is mounted and then, If I am able to
open the link, can I expect that the volume has been already properly
mounted ?

Hello Ladislav,
I have been able to open symbolic links to volumes that had no
media ( floppy, cd-rom ), using “\\.a:”. ( any letter, of
course) The device would open, but it would of course fail
some operations.
Hope it works.
P.S. : sorry for the previous incomplete message, i tend to F2 a lot
while working, to make sure i save my work, except in the mail client
it sends the mail. sorry.

The most interesting part of the question is “when”?
In DriverEntry of a BOOT_START (filter) driver?
(my guess the answer is “no”).
