[OpenAFS] context menu handler slow in OpenAFS 1.5.8 for Windows

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:49:14 -0400

Actually, I was wrong about the delay, I was just trying soon after
login when those results were still cached. The output is different
though:

C:\Documents and Settings\gurganbl>fs whereis "My Documents"
pioctl CreateFile(C:\_._AFS_IOCTL_._) failed: 0x2
        [The system cannot find the file specified.
]
pioctl Explorer logon user: [MSROSE-HULMAN\gurganbl]
pioctl CreateFile(C:\_._AFS_IOCTL_._) failed: 0x2
        [The system cannot find the file specified.
]
pioctl LSA Principal logon user: [gurganbl@MS.ROSE-HULMAN.EDU]
pioctl WNetAddConnection2(\\afs,gurganbl@MS.ROSE-HULMAN.EDU) failed:
0x4C3
pioctl WNetAddConnection2(\\afs\all,gurganbl@MS.ROSE-HULMAN.EDU) failed:
0x4C3
pioctl SamCompatible logon user: [MSROSE-HULMAN\gurganbl]
pioctl CreateFile(C:\_._AFS_IOCTL_._) failed: 0x2
        [The system cannot find the file specified.
]
fs: Invalid argument; it is possible that My Documents is not in AFS.

The delay occurs after the first WNetAddConnection2 call in the case of
both login forms.

ok.  What is the pioctl output when using that name form?
