pfsqb (PFSQBUFFER2) - output

Address of the buffer for returned information.

Note: The szName is the file-system driver name exported by the file-system driver. This name is not necessarily the same as the file-system driver name in the boot sector.

For local character devices (iType = 1), cbFSDName = 0, and szName contains only a terminating null byte; cbFSAData = 0.

For local drives (iType = 3), szName contains the name of the file-system driver attached to the drive at the time of the call. This information changes dynamically. If the drive is attached to the kernel's resident file system, szName contains FAT or an unknown name. Since the resident file system gets attached to any disk that other file-system drivers refuse to mount, it is possible to have a disk that does not contain a recognizable file system, but yet gets attached to the resident file system. In this case, it is possible to detect the difference, and this information would help programs to preserve data on a disk that was not properly recognized.
