INFO: "Storage Card" Is a Windows CE FATFS Reserved Name

ID: Q203756

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Toolkit for Visual C++ 5.0
Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder, versions 2.11, 2.12

SUMMARY

The value "Storage Card" is not allowed as a volume name returned from the block device driver DISK_IOCTL_GETNAME handler. Returning this value will result in a failure when the file system attempts to register the name.

MORE INFORMATION

The name "Storage Card" is a default string used by the Windows CE file system when no preferred name is available from the block device driver (that is, the block device driver does not respond to the DISK_IOCTL_GETNAME function).

REFERENCES

A sample showing the implementation of a DISK_IOCTL_GETNAME handler can be found in the Public/Common/Oak/Drivers/Atadisk folder of the Windows CE 2.1 EDK and the Windows CE 2.11 Platform Builder.
