DISKPART vs PowerShell Get-Volume

Question

In DISKPART.EXE, I get the info when multiple mount points are assigned to a volume. In the picture we see that Drive G: can also be accessed using D:\SQL\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\DATA\ or D:\BlaBla:

But I can't find the same info using PowerShell's Get-Volume or Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_Volume. Does anyone knows how to extract this info using a native PowerShell function?

I thought of extracting the info by calling DISKPART.EXE inside PowerShell but I would prefer an native PowerShell function like Get-Volume.

Did you try piping get-volume into select-object -property * to see what properties are available in the output? — Mike Shepard, Apr 23 '18 at 21:26
It looked like a good idea. I did try, it does not provide the information I need. — PollusB, Apr 24 '18 at 03:38

Perhaps surprisingly, you can look up mount points via the Win32_MountPoint class:

Get-WmiObject Win32_MountPoint | Select-Object Directory, Volume

Further details can be obtained by looking up the references:

Get-WmiObject Win32_MountPoint | ForEach-Object {
    $dir = [wmi]$_.Directory | Select-Object -Expand Name
    $vol = [wmi]$_.Volume
    New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
        Directory   = $dir
        Label       = $vol.Label
        DriveLetter = $vol.DriveLetter
        FileSystem  = $vol.FileSystem
        DeviceId    = $vol.DeviceId
    }
}
