FileAttributeTagInformation

  1. while defined, I can’t seem to find any reference to
    this anywhere (including the Beta3 IFS kit).
    Can someone fill in the blanks here?
    (i.e., what it wants, what to return besides
    STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER, etc.)

  2. There *must* be an IFS kit after Beta3. Pointers?

Pete,

Attribute Tags are used for reporting back information about reparse points.

Thus, you are supposed to be returning the reparse point tag value of the
file. If the file does NOT support a reparse point, you should return
IO_REPARSE_TAG_RESERVED_ZERO as the reparse point tag (in other words, “it
doesn’t have one.”)

The file attributes are, literally, the attributes of the file. Just like
you’d return to a FileBasicInformation request in the FileAttributes
structure (things like FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE, etc.)

Regards,

Tony
