VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_FLAG enumeration (vds.h)

  • Article

[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]

Defines the properties of file systems that are supported for formatting volumes. These values are used in the ulFlags member of the VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_PROP structure.

Syntax

typedef enum _VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_FLAG {
  VDS_FSS_DEFAULT = 0x1,
  VDS_FSS_PREVIOUS_REVISION = 0x2,
  VDS_FSS_RECOMMENDED = 0x4
} VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_FLAG;

Constants

 
VDS_FSS_DEFAULT
Value: 0x1
The file system is the default file system to be used for formatting the volume.
VDS_FSS_PREVIOUS_REVISION
Value: 0x2
The revision of the file system is not the latest revision supported for formatting the volume.
VDS_FSS_RECOMMENDED
Value: 0x4
The file system is the recommended file system to be used for formatting the volume.

Remarks

Note  Additional constants might be added to the VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_FLAG enumeration in future Windows versions. For this reason, your application must be designed to gracefully handle an unrecognized VDS_FILE_SYSTEM_FORMAT_SUPPORT_FLAG enumeration constant.
