Description Jean-Christophe Cardot 2017-09-18 19:33:53 CEST

Description of problem:

In the Windows 10 NTFS partition of my newl mga6 system, lots of file are not accessible.

Listing a directory shows a lot of file names followed by "-> 'unsupported reparse point'":
[root@localhost touchpad]# ll /media/windows/Windows
total 36498
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root        0 mars  18  2017 addins/
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root        0 sept.  5 08:08 appcompat/

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root       12 juin   9 08:16 csup.txt*
...

As a consequence the files are not accessible.
For example I cannot install Windows fonts, or at least most of them. By the way this makes drakfont crash, which it should not.

I found this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1377049

and this:
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/advanced-ntfs-3g.html

but had not the time to test for the moment.

Comment 1 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2017-09-18 20:20:10 CEST

ok so installed the quick and dirty way the 2 following rpms (nodeps, force...):
* http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/download-rpm.html#ntfs-3g-2016.2.22AR.3-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm
* http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/download-rpm.html#ntfsprogs-2016.2.22AR.3-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm

then unpacked the 64 bits plugin ntfs-plugin-80000017.so from http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/download-source.html#systcomp.zip into /usr/lib64/ntfs-3g/

and voilà, it works!

Hi Jean-Christophe,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 7 or 8(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

I'm closing this report as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 6, for which support ended in 2019.

Thanks,
Marja

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD

Comment 4 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2020-04-29 20:50:04 CEST

Still present in Mageia 7.

Copying the plugin for decompression from my first message to the proper location fixes it.

D/l from https://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/download-source.html#systcomp.zip

Resolution: OLD => (none)

Comment 5 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2020-04-29 20:51:52 CEST

So I guess there is only a ntfs-3g-plugin rpm missing or the like; as it now searches for the plugins. Please see what did Fedora/CentOS, as the plugin has been d/l from this page where the rpm are for CentOS

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2020-05-01 03:15:40 CEST

Actually I packaged ntfs-3g-system-compression 2 monthes ago.
It provides that capability though:
/usr/lib64/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-80000017.so

It's recommended by ntfs-3g & installed by the classic installer too.

I do not find ntfs-3g-system-compression is not in mga7 ?

Comment 8 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2020-05-01 15:10:03 CEST

It is only in Cauldron as much as I can see.
So should this be resolved? I don't know when 8 is due, as it is not in the wiki, so as the ntfs-3g package in 7 is already prepared for this, and this must be a problem for 7 users for some time (more than 2 years), I think this should be back ported to 7. This problem does not give a good image of Mageia (for ex, users cannot install Windows fonts, see above).
Thierry what do you think?

Comment 9 Thierry Vignaud 2020-05-02 09:58:06 CEST

OK, I backported it in bug #26581

Merci Thierry!

Comment 11 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2020-05-02 12:43:29 CEST

Just tested on my mga7 laptop, works like a charm. Thanks again!

Comment 12 Thomas Backlund 2020-05-05 14:50:50 CEST

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
