Hi,

Can Createfile be used to open a volume that contains a file system in a
mode that will not cause the file system to be mounted? I need to be able to
read data from the volume directly without the file system being mounted.

I'm debugging a new file system and need to write a diagnostic program for
corrupted volumes.

Also, the 'volume' is a new virtual volume so dealing with the physical
partition is not an option for me.
