@blancmangit is H:\ a local drive or a network share?

blancmangit · 2020-09-09T15:01:14Z

Local

iSazonov · 2020-09-09T17:09:16Z

What is a file system on the H: drive? And What is ssed.exe file type? Hardlink, symlink?

jborean93 · 2020-09-09T19:36:55Z

The failure here is occurring when PowerShell checks to see if ssed.exe is a reparse point and to get the target to execute of that reparse point. The error is being raised in WinInternalGetTarget and based on the message that is returned I would bet that it's the call to DeviceIOControl that is returning the exception.

The underlying Win32 error is ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION which has the message matching the error PowerShell reports back

Incorrect function.

The docs for FSCTL_GET_REPARSE_POINT indicate the types of filesystems that support this FSCTL code but I would also guess that H: is an FAT32 formatted drive (or something that is not NTFS/ReFS). The fact that the path of ssed is in H:\usr\bin\ makes it sound like it's a WSL path. Knowing if you are using WSL 1 or WSL 2 would be helpful, or even what is backing the H drive and how it is formatted.

It sounds like we need to have a further check on WinInternalGetTarget to only call DeviceIoControl if the Reparse Point attribute is there or just add ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION to the list of error codes to ignore for this call.

blancmangit · 2020-09-09T20:04:50Z

The drive may certainly be exFAT. I won’t be able to check that for suretill Monday at the earliest.

The file is a plain exe, not any kind of hard or symbolic link and it is not related to WSL. In fact the same exception is raised for any exe I’ve tried on that drive.

jborean93 · 2020-09-09T20:19:22Z

I'm 95% certain that exfat has no support for reparse points which explains why DeviceIoControl is returning ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION for objects on that file system. The PowerShell code would have to be modified to handle such a situation. GetVolumeInformationByHandleW can be used to detect if the volume supports reparse points but honestly it seems like just ignoring ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION is easier.

iSazonov · 2020-09-10T04:04:26Z

No need does P/Invoke to check if reparse points are supported. We should return null if ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION - the error code in the context implicitly says that reparse points are not supported..

You can download artifact from #13634 and check.

You can download artifact from #13634 and check.

I confirm this fixes the problem for me in a Virtualbox shared directory in a Windows 10 guest!

It was a bit of a struggle to discover the artifacts, so writing notes for others:

Clicked the Details in the "PowerShell-CI-windows (Packaging for Windows Windows Packaging)" message in the PR
Clicked the "0 errors / 0 warnings" link
Hovered over "build" and clicked the meatball menu in its right side and selected Download artifacts
Extracted the contents of public/ into my local Powershell directory, overwriting existing files
