File referencing heads up

NTFSD
1

Just ran into a memory leak when referencing file objects based on OSR’s
method (Probably even others). Basically you leak memory for the $LogFile
stream object upon a dismount. We found this after mounting/dismounting
volumes about 1000 times. Our solution is to remove the objects during the
FastIoDetachDevice routine, but we haven’t tested it yet.

Just giving a heads up to anyone else that may do this that this is a
problem.

Oh, and Florida is getting another hurricane on the weekend.

Thanks,

Rob
