Unable to glob E01 on Windows share?

[ghost]

Attempts to open an E01 file fail when the target is on a network share. I think the problem may be in libewf_glob()

@devmd5 can you provide more detail, otherwise I cannot help you

• what is the error you are getting? or not working?
• what version of libewf are you using? in what context?
• how was libewf buillt?
• what type of share are you talking about? CIFS? other?

The images are located on a Windows 10 share (SMB2 I think). When opened locally, the images open file.

e.g. \myhost\share\name.e01

However, when opened via the share path, the call to libewf_glob_wide() returns 1 indicating success but number of files is reported as 0. It looks like libewf_glob_wide() fails blows when the path has a \ prefix.

This error is in libewf-experimental-20201230. The library was built as a DLL following the standard instructions and otherwise seems to work ok.

can you provide an example of the path you are using there are multiple ways to define an UNC share path on Windows

\\servername\share\TestImage.e01
\\192.168.20.2\share\TestImage.e01

I would need to take a closer look. The glob just tries to iterate which segment files exists specific for the format. Maybe the exist checks fails for some reason.
