GetDriveType() appears to hang

[EzehM]

Can GetDriveType() cause a program to hang?

This is my code snippet

if (GetDriveType(TargetDir) != DRIVE_FIXED)
{
DebugMsg("Write via NFS. Checking CRC on files %s and %s", lpExistingFileName, path);
…..
}

Where TargetDir is a shared folder on a Solrais box, accessed by my application via NFS (Hummingbird NFS Maestro 6.1)

If it does, is there another API that I could use to get the drive type?

Thanks in advance

Here is some old code I used to determine drive types that seemed to work ok

for(int i = 2;i<26;i++)
{
	CString temp;
	temp.Format("%c:\\",'A'+i);
	unsigned int type = GetDriveType(temp);

        // switch types here
}

You can also combine the above code with "GetLogicalDrives" which returns a 32 bit value with bits set if the drive exists.
