Re: Don't receive IRP_MJ_CREATE on a CreateFile

How do you know that you are receiving IRP_MJ_CREATE requests from
explorer.exe?

It's a DEVICE_DISK and I supposed explorer try to access it.
In fact it's "System" that make these IRP every 5 minutes (IrpTracker is my
friend :-)

What kind of driver are you working on?

FILE_DEVICE_DISK (based on Ramdisk sample)

You are saying that you are calling CreateFile on your device (e.g.
\\.\Global\MyDriver), and you don't see the corresponding MJ_CREATE
request. Is createfile succeeding?

Yes, and Ioctl requests too.
I CreateFile on the symlink created by the driver, (the drive letter \\
\H:). Another user program ("consumer") just read/write on the device and
there's also no IRP_MJ_CREATE/CLEANUP/CLOSE.
