Description

I'm getting lots of BSOD's on Windows when running executables from KBFS, or when copying lots of files to KBFS. Dokan is seriously unreliable. Current Windows build is Win10 1803; Dokan is 1.1.0.2000. Can't deal with this level of unreliability in a filesystem, when KBFS hosts some of my most important files.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 1803 failures while running executables from KBFS and copying many files, using Dokan 1.1.0.2000. Trace the resulting BSODs to determine whether KBFS or Dokan is responsible; done means the reported scenarios no longer crash the system and the fix is verified on Windows.
