This function is called by a device driver to load its associated file system driver (FSD). This function is obsolete. Instead, place a storage class identifier in the device driver registry setting to notify Storage Manager of the block driver being loaded. Storage Manager then parses the partitions and loads the appropriate file system.

Syntax

BOOL LoadFSDEx(
  HANDLE hDevice, 
  LPCWSTR lpFSDName, 
  DWORD dwFlag
);

Parameters

• hDevice
  [in] Handle to a registered device that can be obtained with the ActivateDeviceEx function.

• lpFSDName
  [in] Pointer to the name of the FSD to load.

• dwFlag
  [in] Options that effect the loading of a file system. The following table shows possible values.

  Value	Description
  LOADFSD_ASYNCH	Loads an FSD asynchronously. Specifying this value is the same as calling the LoadFSD function.
  LOADFSD_SYNCH	Loads an FSD synchronously.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.

Remarks

When a file system is loaded synchronously, deadlocks can occur. Use caution when using the synchronous loading process.
