[Bug 1728354] Re: ntfs: unsupported reparse point

[Winfried PLappert]

Hello Jean-Pierre, thank you for time analyzing the ntfs issue.

According to dpkg -l, my ntfs packages have the following versions:

libfsntfs1    20170315-1build1
libntfs-3g872 1:2016.2.22AR.2-2
ntfs-3g       1:2016.2.22AR.2-2 

When I am trying to compile the ntfs-3g-system-compression package, configure complains that
libntfs-3g is not new enough: libntfs-3g >= 2017.3.23, so I am a bit stuck here.

Likewise the plugins have no deb pacakge version and want package levels
newer than the ones available in Ubuntu 17.10.

Title:
  ntfs: unsupported reparse point

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I recently updated my Windows-10 to the 1709 edition. Scanning the
  file system with Ubuntu, I get "unsupported reparse point" errors.
  Searching the web indicates that ntfs cannot handle certain files.

  I am running Ubutu-Mate 17.10:

  uname -r: 4.13.0-16-generic

  lsb_release -rcid:
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 17.10
  Release:	17.10
  Codename:	artful

  I include a file which runs ntfsinfo on a file where I get the "unsupported reparse point" message:
  sudo ntfsinfo -F /Windows/hh.exe /dev/sda1 >unsupported_reparse_point.txt

  while mounted: I issue ls -l <mount_point>/Windows/hh.exe 
  ls -l Windows/hh.exe 
  lrwxrwxrwx 2 .. .. 25 Sep 29 14:41 Windows/hh.exe -> unsupported reparse point

  I expect to see either a resolved link or a length for the file in
  question.
