Hi Christian,
patch looks pretty good to me. Just two minor points:
> + /* Traverse \Device directory ... */
> + bool errno_set = false;
> + HANDLE devhdl = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is a Win32 API concept and is only returned by
CreateFile and friends. The native NT API doesn't know
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and, fortunately, only uses NULL. I think it's
puzzeling to use INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE in a native NT context. So, would
you mind to just use NULL (or nullptr) instead? As in...
> + if (devhdl != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
if (devhdl)
Sounds easier to me :)

Do we really still need IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT w/o _EX?
fhandler_proc still uses it, too, but the EX variation is available
since XP. I can't imagine that a fallback to the non-EX-version is still
necessary. If you like you could drop it immediately, or we can drop
both usages as a followup patch.
Last, but not least, do you see a chance to add any other /dev/disk
subdir? by-partuuid, perhaps?
Thanks,
Corinna
