Drive Mapping

NTFSD
1

is there a way that a file system filter driver can know whether network
drives are being mapped or unmapped?

i attempted to attach to NTFS, FAT and RDR when the driver loads
automatically on system startup. however, it failed to attach to RDR and i
think this is due to the drives not being mapped yet. it will work if i load
it manually after system startup. but it will still not know if drives are
mapped and unmapped after that…

There is no notification function to detect redirector mounts.(for NT4)

Also note that you may have the redirector loaded without any drive mapped.
Loading redirectors
and mapping remote drives are separate tasks. You can attach to a redirector
without drives mapped.

To hook redirectors you must check periodically to test for the presence of
“LanManRedirector”, “NwRdr”, etc.
An independent system thread will do the work.

Inaki.
