It was used for administering IBM Lan Server/Warp Server (i.e OS/2) and early versions of NT although there are still a few critical places where Windows still relies on RAP in preference to sending the same call over DCE/RPC (as most others are). The X/Open SMB references describes some of the mechanism for RAP and you should definately take a look at that. The SNIA Technical Reference just lists the ordinals for the RAP calls, not the parameter descriptor strings. Note that Paul Leach posted the parameter description strings publically a few years ago. He also did a writeup on a few of the simpler calls in ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/drg/CIFS/cifsrap2.doc and cifslog.doc Also See samba/source/include/rap.h and the Samba "net" utility which may be useful for understanding more. >I've checked the docs from Microsoft (CIFS drafts of 1997 >and 2001) and there is not a lot of description of >parameters for the TRANS2_QUERY_FS_INFORMATION, >SMB_INFO_ALLOCATION, SMB_INFO_VOLUME, >SMB_QUERY_FS_VOLUME_INFO, SMB_QUERY_FS_SIZE_INFO and >SMB_QUERY_FS_DEVICE_INFO. >How this commands works and what there are doing. There wasn't a Microsoft CIFS draft for 2001 (which doc are you talking about) but the 1997 Microsoft draft missed a few pieces of information in this area that was later filled in the SNIA CIFS Technical Reference. The cifs vfs (cifspdu.h) includes defines for some of the useful device attributes but not all of the volume attributes yet.
