Sorry, but I can't see your point in my case. You are correct if we speak of of a CD-ROM or Floppy. I could maybe even accept this for a FAT or NTFS partition, but I cannot understand what a windows app should do with a ReiserFS formated partition ?
Your program doesn't know anything about a Linux file system. Perhaps it did an API call to see what the filesystem is and follows the result (VFAT, NTFS, Network, CDROM etc. ).
Especially when that partition is already mounted and it is not even user mountable. Obviously linux doesn't allow it anyway resulting in the error code c0000022.
I was thinking it was the RW permissions of /dev/hdb5 .
In this case wine can clearly assume that the drive letter was intended to describe a "logical" wine HD rather than a device or volume.
Not possible, it is a windows program that has no knowledge about "logical" wine HD's. The program "knows" that it is a Windows volume, and wine has to emulate that.
As far as I understand what you want is a way to make the emulated "L:" behave the same way whether dosdevices/l: points to a mount point or not. Perhaps something is possible with the dosdevices/l:: link that points to the device if it exists.
Did you happen to notice what the CreateFile() returns and what the LastError() was in those cases?
