IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX

Operation

Returns information about the number of partitions, disk signature, and features of each partition on a disk. (Floppy drivers need not handle this request.)

Input

Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength in the I/O stack location of the IRP indicates the size in bytes of the buffer, which must be >= sizeof(DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX). Note that this structure contains a variable-sized array of PARTITION_INFORMATION_EX elements.

Output

The driver returns the DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX data in the buffer at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.

I/O Status Block

The Information field is set to the size in bytes of the returned data. The Status field can be set to STATUS_SUCCESS, or possibly to STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH, STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, or STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.

Headers

Defined in ntdddisk.h. Include ntdddisk.h.
