RFR: 8264400: (fs) WindowsFileStore equality depends on how the FileStore was constructed

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

Is it instead possible to store a normalized version of the store base path (for the purpose of equals but also for display)? This would reduce dependence of file name casing semantics which does not in all cases depend only on the host operating system.

Maybe using lpRootPathName if present in GetVolumeInformation?

Gruss
Bernd

Good idea. I will ask them.
