Junction Points

NTFSD
2

DeviceIoControl with control code FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT will create
junction point. see msdn for more detail. There is linkd tool from NT
resource kit, which does same stuff. Another tool is mountvol to create
mount points. Junction points and mounts share same reparse tag.

thanks

Can someone explain to me what a junction point is and how one can create
one for testing purposes. I know iostress creates them for the reparse test
but I’d like to do it with a simple test program. Is there a win32 API to
do this?

Thanks,
Ken

You can also use Win32 SetVolumeMountPoint and DeleteVolumeMountPoint.
