IsCBFSStorageVolume Method

Checks whether a storage partition or volume is formatted with the CBFS Storage filesystem.

Syntax

cbdrive.isCBFSStorageVolume(volumeName, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method checks whether the storage partition or volume specified by VolumeName is formatted with the CBFS Storage filesystem. If the specified storage volume or partition is formatted with the CBFS Storage filesystem, this method returns true; otherwise it returns false.

A storage volume or partition formatted with the CBFS Storage filesystem can 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.

Note that this method uses a simple detection mechanism; it doesn't perform a full consistency check or attempt any repairs, so applications may still need to call CheckAndRepair even if this method returns true. If an error occurs during the detection process, this method throws an exception.

Note: This method cannot be called within events.
