Re: How to detect disk activity?

To detect disk activity one does not need any driver.
Just poll the perf. counters from user mode.


How do you know that disk performance is also an indication
of read/write. Are there disk performance counters for
drive letters or just for the entire disk?

I have another question:
Does anyone know how to get the volume file name of C:
(or any other drive letter). Or do I need to do this from user
mode and pass it to the filter driver?
Will this work - \??\c
Sorry for this stupid question, but it seems both msdn and
yahoo/google become totally confused when you look for
\??\

Thanks.
