Yes. MS-SMB2 is also wrong :-). I have test code that proves FLUSH works against any directory handle opened with FILE_ADD|DIRECTORY_ADD access mask granted. (Steve thought this might be special cased to just the root directory handle on a share, this turns out not to be the case - any directory handle with the required access works OK). > I would wait until MS-SMB2 is updated before we start sending FLUSH on > directory handles. We need to deal with the protocol as it really is, not as the documentation would like it to be :-).
