Support Mounted Volumes

[Peter Ritchie]

I have a mounted volume assigned a directory on my C: drive, but SpaceMonger won't show that directory as a sub-directory of the C: drive. It also does not show up in the Drives list and I must select the folder in the Folder Tree in order to scan/analyze.

I have a mounted volume assigned a directory on my C: drive, but SpaceMonger won't show that directory as a sub-directory of the C: drive.

This is intentional, since that object is not really an actual subdirectory on the physical C: partition. SpaceMonger knows not to scan into directories that aren't real directories.

It also does not show up in the Drives list and I must select the folder in the Folder Tree in order to scan/analyze.

Ideally, it'd be nice for it to show up in the drive list, true; in Windows 2000, they added a way for applications to detect the list of mounted drives (the FindFirstVolumeMountPoint API), and SM should probably use that to include those in the drive list. I'll add a note to add that in a future version.

v2.2 will display mounted volumes in the drive list, but will, as always, not display them in the treemap as part of the drive that "contains" them. I coded it up this afternoon, and it works very nicely.
