Comment:

 Microsoft defines ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_VOLUME as "The volume does not
 contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file
 system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted."

 This looks like an error to me, and not something that should be swept
 under the rug. Thus I'm going to close it as wontfix.

 If you have a strong motivating case for why this shouldn't be treated as
 an error, please feel free to reopen the ticket. But I'd really need to
 know what the real-world use case is before making any change.

 Thanks,
