[Bug 1728354] [NEW] ntfs: unsupported reparse point

[Winfried PLappert]

Public bug reported:

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.
