Bug ID: 55239
           Summary: Read access denied for device L"\??\f:\", FS volume
                    label and serial are not available
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel32
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

Under ./wine/dosdevices, there are a bunch of symbolic links to each removable
drive. My D: links to /dev/sdb. Now I don't have access to /dev/sdb whatsoever,
not even read access, which is correct from a security standpoint, otherwise
any user can circumvent any access control and peer at any other users' data by
low level disk access.

Reading just the volume label and serial should be legal and permitted, so I
believe this is not a feature but a bug. In my case the underlying Win32 API
call I used is GetVolumeInformation. There must be some way for wine to
implement this call without low level disk access.
