[Bug 486275] [NEW] ntfs driver do not manage ntfs junction points

[Sébastien GRIPON]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

Microsoft provide a command line tool called junction to make junction points on ntfs file system. Junction points are similar to symlink under linux.
I installed ubuntu with wubi, and when I access the windows disk, the folders that correspond to a junction point are considered as empty in nautilus. I think it should be managed like symlinks.

Same thing in terminal, so it is probably a filesystem driver problem.
