Double slash in network file names

NTFSD

Hi,
I have an issue with a minifilter on Windows 8.1 x64 when workin with network shares: occasionally when I get file path via FltGetFileNameInformation, I get a string containing double slash in it: “\Device\Mup\192.168.222.200\Test\test.txt”. When this path is used to reopen file, I get error STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_SYNTAX_BAD, which is quite expected.

Did onyone have this issue? Is there a hotfix for it?

Thanks in advance
Andrey

Yes, I have been hit by this on server 2012 and 2012 R2. I tried a bunch of things. Interestingly enough I didn’t get it when trying to get opened name but hit me this when trying to get normalized name. IIRC it comes before the share name. I just had to strip off the double slash and make it single slash before using it. :frowning:
But honestly I could get away with just the opened name in our case.
