- Buffer size of the FILE_ALL_INFORMATION member.  For instance,

Hi Corinna,

no, the error code isn't influenced by alignment or size. For local drives and SMB shares the STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW turns into STATUS_SUCCESS as soon as there is enough room for the share path in the FILE_NAME_INFORMATION.FileName flexible array member (actually, why isn't path_conv_handle.attribs._fai larger? performance? FileNameInformation usually not needed?). But for the NCP share the strange error code for FileAllInformation remains. Checking all the members of FileAllInformation one by one, it turned out that it's the FileInternalIformation member that fails. I've reported it as a bug to Novell.

Nevertheless I believe the fallback to NtQueryDirectoryFile(FileIdBothDirectoryInformation) does not do what you want if the path is the root directory of a share. But that's not the cause of this problem.

Franz.
