Seeking advice on multiple disk ifs.

Hi All,

I am developing an IFS which will have to access multiple disk drives which
will potentially be on multiple controllers. To User space, the whole
bunch
of them will appear as one large disk. There are specific reasons why the
standard NT FT driver won’t do the job in this case.

These may be really basic questions but can any one suggest ways to make
this happen from a configuration view point? Questions I am unsure of are:

  1. I don’t think the Disk Administrator tool be made to help me much here.
    The best I can figure is that I can use it to create a bunch of empty
    partitions and then assign a driver letter to one of the partitions I
    intend to use. It would be ideal if I could use the Disk Administrator to
    create a stripe set, and then assign that stripe set a drive letter. In
    order to do that though my IFS would need to be able obtain the contents of
    that stripe set and access all of the devices myself. It would also have to
    prevent the FT driver from interfering. Any Ideas?

  2. Does anyone know the correct way to enumerate all of the partitions in a
    system? This seems different from NT to 2000.

Thanks for any help.

Don
