Re: Filtering disk vs. partitions



Yes. One of the registry properties on IOMedia objects is "Whole" with a boolean value.

true is (generally) a disk, false is a slice/partition.

Possible Exception: I'd have to do some further testing, but some RAID drivers may show the merged of 2 (or more) disks as whole.

Hi,

I am working on an IOMedia filter. The driver is instantiated for every
partition on a disk, but what I'd really prefer is to filter on the disk
itself, and not the individual partitions. As far as I can tell, I'm not
called for the disk itself, just the partitions.


Is there way to achieve what I'm after here?

Thanks in advance,


Eric
