FileObject->DeviceObject for LanMan when called via Shadow device

NTFSD

Hi,
I am tidying up my shadow file processing and have implemented the code for
setting the reference counts on relevent devices when called via my shadow
device(s). I note that FileObject->Device object needs to be setup to the
‘real’ underlying device in this situation but where do I get this value
when filtering LanMan ? My filter is based on FileSpy which does not setup
any value for ‘DiskDevice’ for
network filesystems (understandably). Could anyone give me a clue as to the
correct value I should set for a request coming via a shadow device that is
going down to the LanMan redirector ?

Thanks In Adance,
Trevor Heartfield.

Ah, I found the answer on the list server - it is the FS device.
