[Bug 1728354] Re: ntfs: unsupported reparse point

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Jean-Pierre,
thanks for your quick response.
I realized that I was not completely correct with what I wrote. I had the files on the local drive *I*BELIEVE*, but checking the settings of OneDrive I saw that the option "Save Space blabla on demand" was turned on.

I then turned that option off, which resulted in hardly any activity
because as I said I believe all the files were already there.

Then I rebooted into Linux and could access all files without any
problems.

I tried to revert by going back to Windows, turning the "on demand"
option on in the OneDrive settings, let OneDrive settle down a bit, and
rebooted back into Linux again.

To my surprise, I could still read all the files. (and yes, I know, this
is not what actually helps you, sorry).

Concerning the ntfs number: 
ntfs-3g 2017.3.23 integrated FUSE 28 - Third Generation NTFS Driver
		Configuration type 7, XATTRS are on, POSIX ACLS are on

All the best

Norbert

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.
