For a rather long time I've been looking for the following
functionality:

* On NTFS a file can have several names (hard links). How to enlist
them ?

* I'm going to create a file and I exactly know the future size. How
can I
- indicate that size in order to reduce possible fragmentation,
- indicate that I'm going to do sequential writes only ?

* On NTFS an empty folder can have a logical partition mounted to it.
There are also junctions.
Given a "folder" name, how to determine whether it is a regular
folder, a mount point or a junction ?

* Consequently from the previous,
a logical partition can have multiple mount points. How to enlist
them ?

Please ...

You might try posting your questions to
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp or
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb, whichever is your choice. They are a
lot more active than this one is.

Thank you very much, Mattias

Unfortunately, I didn't met GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint before
and now I know at least one solution to my problems and a land to dig
for other solutions.

Thank you very much Robin! I had missed these and they seem to be more
in line with my current needs. I wouldn't have known about them if you
hadn't gone out of your way to direct someone there.
