DEVICE_MEDIA_INFO structure (minitape.h)
A storage class driver returns an array of DEVICE_MEDIA_INFO structures, embedded in a GET_MEDIA_TYPES structure, in response to an IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX device-control request.

Members
DeviceSpecific
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo
Describes a nonremovable (fixed) disk.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.Cylinders
Specifies the number of cylinders on this disk.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.MediaType
Specifies a MEDIA_TYPE of FixedMedia.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.TracksPerCylinder
Specifies the number of tracks per cylinder.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.SectorsPerTrack
Specifies the number of sectors per track.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.BytesPerSector
Specifies the number of bytes per sector.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.NumberMediaSides
Specifies the number of sides of the disk that can contain data: either 1 for one-sided media or 2 for two-sided media.
DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics
Specifies characteristics of the disk indicated by one or more of the following flags.
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_CURRENTLY_MOUNTED
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_ERASEABLE
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_READ_ONLY
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_READ_WRITE
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_WRITE_ONCE
DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics.MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo
Describes a removable (nonfixed) disk.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.Cylinders
Specifies the number of cylinders on this disk.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.MediaType
Specifies a MEDIA_TYPE or STORAGE_MEDIA_TYPE value that indicates the type of removable disk.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.TracksPerCylinder
Specifies the number of tracks per cylinder.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.SectorsPerTrack
Specifies the number of sectors per track.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.BytesPerSector
Specifies the number of bytes per sector.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.NumberMediaSides
Specifies the number of sides of the disk that can contain data: 1 for one-sided media or 2 for two-sided media.
DeviceSpecific.RemovableDiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics
Specifies characteristics of the disk, indicated by MEDIA_XXX flags ORed together. For a list of these flags, see the DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics member of the DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo structure.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo
Describes a tape.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.MediaType
Specifies a STORAGE_MEDIA_TYPE value that indicates the type of tape described in this structure.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.MediaCharacteristics
Specifies characteristics of the tape, indicated by MEDIA_XXX flags ORed together. For a list of these flags, see the DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo.MediaCharacteristics member of the DeviceSpecific.DiskInfo structure.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.CurrentBlockSize
Specifies the current block size, in bytes.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.BusType
Specifies a value of type STORAGE_BUS_TYPE that indicates the bus type.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.BusSpecificData
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.BusSpecificData.ScsiInformation
Specifies bus-specific information from mode page data that describes the medium supported by the tape drive. Values for other bus types will be supplied in a later release.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.BusSpecificData.ScsiInformation.MediumType
Specifies the SCSI-specific medium type.
DeviceSpecific.TapeInfo.BusSpecificData.ScsiInformation.DensityCode
Specifies the SCSI-specific current operating density for read/write operations.
Remarks
This structure is used by a storage driver to indicate the types of media supported by a device and which type is currently mounted, if any. A driver must provide this information if it might control drives in a media library or changer or if its device might be accessed by the Removable Storage Manager (RSM).
The driver fills in an array of DEVICE_MEDIA_INFO structures, one for each medium type supported by the device, embedded in a GET_MEDIA_TYPES structure.
