Hi Sagi,

Yes, you're right that it's due to security reasons and, in addition, you may access the associated storage as a physical or formatted drive with Windows supported APIs for your debugging purposes, like IOMeter does.

Thanks,
Alex

Subject: [nvmewin] Implementing a debug purpose Read/Write using IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT


Hello Guys,

I would like to implement a debug purpose flow of performing NVME disk IO bypassing the StorPort under Windows 8.1.

I thought about implementing it using "IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT" on host side and adding code under "NVM_WRITE/ NVM_READ" on the target side.

I wonder whether anyone here has done it before and can share insights.

Moreover, Is there any particular reason why NVME READ/WRITE commands are not implanted via IOCTL interface, except security ?

Thank you,

Sagi Bar
