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.

See, that's the thing. I'm not seeing anything sent to probe that has Whole set to true. I'm using this code to check: bool com_myCompany_driver_MyDriver::isWhole( IOService *object ) { bool result = false; OSBoolean *val = (OSBoolean*)(object->copyProperty("Whole", gIOServicePlane)); if (val != NULL) { result = val->isTrue(); val->release(); } return result; } Eric _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
