volume type

Does anyone know how to determine a volume’s type? In NT4.0, I can always
look at the registry disk key to determine if a volume is a mirror , volume
set … Is there a way to do that for a dynamic disk volume?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

DMIO is for volumes described in dynamic disks, whether they
are simple
partitions or RAID/stiping. FTDISK is still used for volume sets on
‘basic’ disks, i.e. with the legacy partition format. If you
use a basic
disk, and hence FTDISK, you do not get the portability and
other features
of Veritas’s volume sets.
