Reparse Tag

NTFSD

I am just wondering what’s the advantage of using reparse tag? I have a
filter driver which will intercept create call for each file, and replace
file buffer using different path and then complete the IRP and return
STATUS_REPARSE. I am just wondering how this reparse tag is supposed to
help me in this picture? Is that tag like attribute in the file?

Thanks.

I think the tags are used when various parts of the canonical path are
to be reparsed. If you are reparsing the entire file name to another
volume/filename, there are no changes that you need to make under W2K.
