在C ++中对USB闪存驱动器进行分区和格式化时出错

Question

I'm stuck attempting to re-partition and format a USB flash drive using C++, any help would be great!

The goal is to re-partition any arbitrary flash drive with a single partition taking the entire space and formatted FAT32 (later options NTFS and EXFAT). This will be done in batch, hopefully with 50+ devices at once, so drive letter access is not an option. I'm able to create a partition, but when I try IOCTL_DISK_SET_PARTITION_INFO_EX to set the format type, it is failing with 0x32, ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. But it's not clear what exactly is not supported. I can manually partition the device using utilities such as diskpart, so I know the partition and file system types are supported by the device. Can anyone help? My full source code is below, it's failing on the DeviceIoControl() call with IOCTL_DISK_SET_PARTITION_INFO_EX.

Answer 1

I have a solution, but it's a bit convoluted. I'm using DeviceIoControl() as above to partition the disk. Then I use VDS and the IID_IVdsVolumeMF interface to create the file system, but getting there is a bit of work. The goal is to partition and format all flash drives (USB sticks) on the system. VDS will perform the format via the IID_IVdsVolumeMF interface, BUT it will not tell you (at least I haven't figured out how) which devices are removable. But WMI will tell you which devices are removable, but doesn't have a format function. So...

First use WMI to get a list of all removable volume paths on the system, for example:

CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WbemLocator, 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *)&pLoc)
pLoc->ConnectServer(CComBSTR(L"ROOT\\CIMV2"), nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, 0, nullptr, nullptr, pWbemSvc)
CoSetProxyBlanket(
                                      *pWbemSvc,                        // Indicates the proxy to set
                                      RPC_C_AUTHN_WINNT,           // RPC_C_AUTHN_xxx
                                      RPC_C_AUTHZ_NONE,            // RPC_C_AUTHZ_xxx
                                      NULL,                        // Server principal name 
                                      RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_CALL,      // RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_xxx 
                                      RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, // RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_xxx
                                      NULL,                        // client identity
                                      EOAC_NONE                    // proxy capabilities 

pWbemSvc->ExecQuery(CComBSTR(L"WQL"), CComBSTR(L"SELECT * FROM Win32_Volume WHERE DriveType=2"), WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY, NULL, &pEnumerator)

Gives you paths such as:

 L"\\\\?\\Volume{3899cb7b-7c3f-11e6-bf82-005056c00008}\\"

Then use VDS to get a list of all VDS volumes on the machine. Basically you load VDS, then get all software providers. This source is missing parts for brevity, but I think I left enough to explain what's happening:

pSvc->QueryProviders(VDS_QUERY_SOFTWARE_PROVIDERS, &pEnumProviders)

Now iterate through the list of providers getting the packs from each provider:

pEnumProviders->Next(1, &pUnk, &cFetched)
pProv = pUnk;
pProv->QueryPacks(&pEnumpacks)
vPacks.push_back(pEnumpacks);

Now iterate through the packs and get all of the volumes in each pack:

iterator iPacks = vPacks.begin();
(*iPacks)->Next(1, &pUnk, &cFetched)
pPack = pUnk;
pPack->QueryVolumes(&pEnumvolumes)
pvpEnumvolumes->push_back(pEnumvolumes)

Now you have a list of paths to removable devices, and you have a list of all volumes on the system. Time to compare them and figure out which volumes are removable .

iVolEnum = pvpEnumOfVDSVolumes->begin()
(*iVolEnum)->Next(1, &pUnk, &cFetched)
pVMF3 = pUnk;
CComHeapPtr<LPWSTR> pVDSVolumePaths;
pVMF3->QueryVolumeGuidPathnames(&pVDSVolumePaths, &nPaths)
iterator iWMIVolPath = pvWMIRemovableVols->begin();
loop..
if (wcscmp(iWMIVolPath->data(), pVDSVolumePaths[i]) == 0)
{  // VDS Vol is removable! }

Now use this VDS volume object to format the volume:

foreach( vol in vRemovableVDSVols )
{
CComQIPtr<IVdsVolume> pVolume = *(vol);
IVdsVolumeMF *pVolumeMF;
pVolume->QueryInterface(IID_IVdsVolumeMF, (void **)&pVolumeMF);
pVolumeMF->Format(  VDS_FST_FAT32, 
                              L"MyFob", 
                              512, // alloc size
                              true, // force
                              false, // quick
                              false, // compression
                              &pAsync); // async
}

And presto your USB stick is formatted! Whew.. but it seems to be working.

Could Microsoft really not have made this any easier?
