IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER IOCTL (ntddstor.h)

Returns a STORAGE_DEVICE_NUMBER structure that contains the FILE_DEVICE_XXX type, device number, and, for a partitionable device, the partition number assigned to a device by the driver when the device is started. This request is usually issued by a fault-tolerant disk driver.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

None.

Input buffer length

None.

Output buffer

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

Output buffer length

Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength in the I/O stack location indicates the size, in bytes, of the parameter buffer, which must be >= sizeof(STORAGE_DEVICE_NUMBER).

Input / Output buffer

n/a

Input / Output buffer length

n/a

Status block

The Information field is set to the number of bytes returned. The Status field is set to STATUS_SUCCESS, or possibly to STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES.
