GetFileAttributesExW return me a wrong result when querying a file on a samba server which is established on a ramdisk.
For example, ![GetFileAttributesExW][1] returned me "524605"
But in fact, the filelength is "8507"
This only happens on the samba server, which is established on a ramdisk
This problem occurs probabilistically

It’s definite that GetFileAttributesExW is not the problem.
