[Bug 1728354] Re: ntfs: unsupported reparse point

[Jean-Pierre]

> any new advise / feedback you can share based on my feedback
You are the only user I know, having a double level of reparse points, so the only feedback I can give now has to come from you.

- Can you access (local) files in OneDrive subdirectories ?
- can you update them ?
- can you create new files ?
- are new or updated files synchronized to cloud when booting subsequently to Windows ?

Note : creating new files or subdirectories on directories marked as
reparse points is not possible now.

FYI Debian has packaged ntfs-3g 2017.3.23AR.1, and the packages are likely to be usable on Ubuntu (if dependencies are met).

> Happy New Year
Thanks, and same to you.

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.
