... Would it
be better to say: if it doesn't begin with "\??\X:", where X could be
any letter, then don't modify it?
Concretely, I wonder if this is a good fix at least in the short term.
Does this work for you, and do the logic and explanation make sense?
Yes, this patch works well with my junction points.
I checked a few variants:
21.07.2022 15:11 <JUNCTION> HOME [\??\Volume{GUID}\]
09.08.2022 15:06 <JUNCTION> Test1 [\\?\Volume{GUID}\]
09.08.2022 15:06 <JUNCTION> Test2 [\\.\Volume{GUID}\]
09.08.2022 15:17 <JUNCTION> Test3 [\??\Volume{GUID}\]
09.08.2022 15:27 <JUNCTION> Test4 [C:\temp\1]
09.08.2022 15:28 <JUNCTION> Test5 [C:\HOME\Temp\1]
After hours of reading the documentation and debugging, it seems to me
we can use REPARSE_GUID_DATA_BUFFER structure instead of our
REPARSE_JUNCTION_DATA_BUFFER [1]. DataBuffer doesn't contain any
prefixes,
so we don't need to strip them. But we still need to construct a correct
volume name if a junction point is a volume mount point. Is it worth to
check this idea?
