About the SMB error codes.

Thanks Chris.
In my case, I received STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST error. The communication still goes on the same socket after the error is reported.
So can I treat this as non-FATAL error? How do I evaluate the context where errors will be treated as FALAL/Critical ones?

Nilesh,

The severity of the error code is dependent upon the context...the situation in which the error code was returned.  There is a full document listing the NT error codes:

...but [MS-CIFS] provides the best explanation of SMB error code handling (including maping from NT to DOS codes).
