[cifs-protocol] Windows 10 backup failing against Samba

Hi Bryan,

Continuing the discussion from samba-technical.

We have a Windows 10 VM (details attached) failing to create a system 
image on a Samba 4.3.4 server share. We would like to understand the 
root cause so that a fix can be supplied.

To reproduce:
1. Setup a stand-alone Samba-based file server as per 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Standalone_server

(I basically used the Fedore FC23 build, with a minimal smb.conf as 
listed in the wiki, and an ext4 file system. had do disable selinux to 
avoid frustration. But it should behave the same on other builds)

2. On a Win10 machine, create a system image using wbadmin command line, 
as listed in attached cmd.txt session

After snapshot creation phase, the operation fails with "incorrect 
function" error message.

Attached:
info.txt - basic details on the client OS
cmd.txt - capture of the wbadmin command and output
backup.pcap - packet capture of the SMB3 session

The packet capture shows an attempt to open the .vhdx with
SVHDX_OPEN_DEVICE_CONTEXT, which returns this error.

If my reading of [MS-SMB2] is correct, then Samba is in compliance here, 
since it does not support shared VHDX.

It's not entirely clear how/whether the client is supposed to test for 
support of SVHDX - I'm waiting to get my hands on a Server 
2012R2/2016TP4 to compare. In an SDC presentation from 2013 it says the 
existence of an alternate data stream is the test, I see no such test in 
the packet capture.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Uri.
