If you use second one people will be sure that device is disk file system. In case of former it can be any file system. Your implementation will cause failure for all the routines which checks for device type before making call. Particularly Scatter/Gather related read/write will fail. Use the device type which is given by lower level file system driver.

I have used the former for a filter driver. Just a bit curious , as to what happ ens if I use the later. Any suggestions ?
