Hello All,
Please explaine how to convert shared file name, like:
\??\UNC\servername\sharename\File.ext
to local path, like:
\Device\HaddiskVolume1\File.ext
Is this possible?
I will be thanks for any given help,
Max.
Is there a problem with returning STATUS_REPARSE/IO_REPARSE with the
name you want parsed in actuality? That’s how I’d try to do it if I
were attempting to do something like this.
Regards,
Tony

No, it is not possible. After all, the server on the other side can be

Tony, please, explaine more how to use described technology or

Thanks,

How about if the server is a local server?

There is a reparse example in the DDK. You can also find several
pertinent discussions in the archive here as well as doing a search on
STATUS_REPARSE.
In a nutshell, on the client your filter rebuilds the name
(FileObject->FileName - if you need to reallocate, do so from paged
pool) and then returns STATUS_REPARSE/IO_REPARSE from the dispatch entry
point (note: you cannot change status in a completion routine…)

Perhaps I don’t understand what the OP was asking, but on the CLIENT
side, the fact the SERVER is SAMBA or SRV, or OS/2 EE shouldn’t matter
if they do the reparse before it has gone across the network.
Once it DOES go across the network then clearly the question makes no
sense. If the OP was asking about redirection on the server, then Max’s
answer makes sense. If the OP was asking how to achieve this on the
client, then it seems similar to questions like this that are asked
regularly in this forum.

My understanding was: given a UNC name he wants to get the actual path (for
whatever purpose), not change the path.

Actually, that was the problem I tried to solve (figure out what the “real”
thing is after subst or “net use” to localhost).
That’s what the (naive) UM code I posted yesterday does.

Ah. Well if the server end is Windows he can add a filter driver on
that end as well and then ask. But aside from having filters (or other
mods) on both client and server there’s no way of which I’m aware to
match up the open on the client with the file location on the server.

The OP’s question about “sharename” and “\Device\HaddiskVolume1” is kind
of like apples and oranges.
I’d like to see it reworded along the lines of converting both terms to
“:…” which is a little more in line with what the user
sees. The harddisk bit is easy. A single share is fairly easy but
multiple shares to the same target machine is a little more interesting.
(I was all set to jump into this when the boss said “forget that, we
don’t care about shares…”)
