Why would we ever return STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED (converted to EREMOTE)? If we do a find first on a directory and get status path not covered - why don't we simply chase the DFS referral then rather than greatly slow down findfirst? -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
