Hello all,
I know this is a newbie question but I am just learning so be nice
I am currently implementing a minifilter filesystem driver. I decided
to map some network share (\192.168.1.10\Share\blah) as a drive (z:).
I noticed though that the path I get for this mapped drive looks
something like: “;Z:000000000000000015eb\path_to_share” which I
thought looked a little funny. Soo… I opened the “winobj”
sysinternals tool to see where the z: drive is actually linked to and
noticed that it links to:
\Device\LanmanRedirector;Z:000000000000000015eb\path_to_share.
So, I guess my question is how can I determine the full path
(\Device\LanmanRedirectory;Z:0000…) given the path plus the device
object? Is it safe to assume that if I get a path that looks
something like: “;Z:…” that it will always be a mapped network
drive path and I could just prefix \Device\LanmanRedirectory.. and it
will work fine?
thanks!
