No, I've tried all combinations of parameters to the open calls to
absolutely no avail.  I then started to look at what the VolumeInformation
call is supposed to be doing and decided that this might have a better
chance of producing a workaround.

All combinations you listed produced absolutely the same behaviour than
before: the open suceeds and the VolumeInfo call fails.  I've tried a few
other combinations that are forbidden according to MSDN and promptly had the
open call fail, so I think I did this correctly...

While searching the net I've found some notes saying that the only classes
confirmed working everywhere didn't include FileFsFullSizeInformation.  True
or not, that's what pushed me to rip it out.

Tomorrow...

That's essentially what I've done to get it working.  Not that exact patch,
so I'll try that out tomorrow as well, but that code path should produce
correct output from df no matter of what FS it finds behind the mount.
