Summary: HD reported as device when mountpoint matches logical
                    link in dosdevices
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20040505
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When using DVDlab with version 20040505 and 20040615 I got the following warning
(and a failure in DVDlab 1.3.1):

warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"\\.\L:" (status c0000022)

I followed this problem back to dlls/ntdll/directory.c and found that L: is
resolved to /dev/hdb5 raising the invalid access. L: is a link in dosdevices
pointing to /data2 which is the mountpoint of /dev/hdb5.

I would recomment that wine is taking the filesystem in /etc/fstab in
consideration to determine if a directory or device is accessed by the drive letter.

Circumvention: Don't let your HD drive letters in dosdevices point to a linux
mountpoint.

Best regards,

And thank you for the fine product BTW.
