[Bug 1728354] Re: ntfs: unsupported reparse point

I assume you have also recompiled and installed ntfs-3g 2017.3.23AR.1 according to recommended Ubuntu settings.

Does this apply to text files created on Windows and updated by vi/emacs/nano on Ubuntu ? If not, please retry with only appending text on Ubuntu (e.g. "echo some text >> test-file") 

> Word complains that it can not synchronize the file
So Word can synchronize new files but not those updated by LibreOffice on Ubuntu. It would be useful to have the ntfsinfo (with -v) output both before and after updating by Libreoffice to check the changes made,... but Word is known to use locking mechanisms which may be defeated by Libreoffice.

Title:
  ntfs: unsupported reparse point

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
