strange FileName in FO

NTFSD
1

hi

i am filtering DFS and make some tests.

when I filter a DFS link the FileName is of the form
\MyDfsLinkTargetServer\MySharedDir\MyFile. no surprise.

but when i filter a simple DFS shared directory (no link), I found that
the FileName in the file object is of the form
\MyServer\MyDfsRoot\MyServer\MyDfsRoot\MySubdir\MyFile

as someone any explication ?

This duplication of the server share name is by design and your filter
will need to recognize and handle it.
