FormatVolume Method

Formats a storage volume or partition with the CBFS Storage filesystem. (Windows only).

Syntax

void __fastcall FormatVolume(String VolumeName, int Flags);

Remarks

This method formats the storage volume or partition specified by VolumeName with the CBFS Storage filesystem, allowing it to be opened as a vault using the OpenVolume method.

The VolumeName parameter specifies the fully-qualified name of a storage volume or partition. DOS names, such as X:, are also valid.

The Flags parameter is used to control formatting options, and should be set by OR'ing together zero or more of the following flags:

CBFSSTORAGE_FMF_FAST_FORMAT0x00000001Perform a fast format; only initialize the pages necessary for storing the filesystem structure.

When this flag is not set, all pages of the new vault are initialized.

Note that formatting a large storage partition or volume can take a significant amount of time, and this method will block until the formatting process is complete.

Note: This method cannot be called when Active is true, and cannot be called within events.
