Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I see FsContext and FsContext2 already set in the
IRP_MJ_CREATE path when accessing a DFS share from an XPSP2 client?
Tony Mason makes reference to this in his response to “DFS_FILE_SYSTEM
bugcheck” a few months back:
http://www.osronline.com/showThread.cfm?link=117360
Anyway, should this be simply treated as “normal” by a file system filter,
or does this mean something unholy is going on… Tony’s mail seems to
suggest that I should treat it as a normal case and look the other way.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
You need to treat it as normal and look the other way. DFS is very touchy about it otherwise.

Thanks Tony. Do you know if it is indeed a mechanism to detect reentrancy?
