Need help.

when I use the API MoveFile or MoveFileEx, the IOCTL function IRP_MJ_SET_INFORMATION::FileRenameInformation is not called , but called if destination file exists.
GetLastError returns GetlastError = 2.
The source file exists !

Can you help me?

i think solved this problem , i’am not sure.

In IRP_MJ_CREATE , I should return STATUS_SUCCESS if file not exist and (irpstack->flags&SL_OPEN_TARGET_DIRECTORY)==SL_OPEN_TARGET_DIRECTORY.

Why ? i don’t know.

Of course you would - so long as the parent directory exists…

“SL_OPEN_TARGET_DIRECTORY - If this flag is set, the file’s parent
directory should be opened.”

In general the rename/hardlink API is rather “rich” and I’d advise you to
play around with it. If you are running over the network you will find some
interesting behaviors in Vista…
