This Windows call fails on 'mount points'. I have tried it
on 2000 and on XP.
Strangely, it also fails on any non-drive-lettered drive
directories below the root, even without mount points.
Does anyone know how else I can find the cluster size of a
drive?
We can't rely on having WBEM objects available.

P.S. By the way, I first came across this mounting-of-
drives-on-a-directory-tree idea in the mid 1980's. If
you're interested in some history look up 'The Newcastle
Connection' (1981).
 
Hi Miles,

For the default cluster of the partitions, you can refer to the article:

140365 Default Cluster Size for FAT and NTFS
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=140365

For the mount points issue, I think we can refer the article about how to
create it.

205524 How to Create and Manipulate NTFS Junction Points
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=205524

Please make sure the creation process is correct.

Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!
