My concern here is, what's so special about directories? A special file
or fifo, a symlink or reparse/junction, etc. Is it appropriate to cons
up a ::$DATA for these? What should the size values be, if so?
Special files in linux(ksmbd share) is showing as regular file on
windows client.
This brings up an interesting second question. Is that a good thing?
It seems risky, and perhaps wrong, that one can open such a special file
and read or write it over SMB3. I can see allowing read attributes, etc,
but certainly not full access. To me, at a minimum the read or write
should be failed by ksmbd, if not the CREATE itself. ksmbd should not be
representing these as ordinary files.
