> Thanks for the answer but it doesn't help me ;) Ok, I can give you another answer, more detailed, but I have no idea, how much more usable, as I'm no expert in low-level NTFS specifics. I can imagine Cygwin tools being able to read, store and restore OS-specific file attributes, but I doubt these attributes have any use outside OS. I.e., I was unable to use NTFS junction point under Linux. Junction was to a second partition of the same drive, so there's no possibility of missing partitions or similar mistakes on my part. ntfs-3g just doesn't work the same way, as native Windows NTFS driver. Oh, also... Are you sure you have full low-level access to partition in question? I.e., it is not blocked by antivirus, or UAC? > I would beliefe one of the cygwin libraries must read and interpret the > ntfs_reparse_data because cygwin will display it's content as an posix soft > link. > So it would possible that getfattr can read this data too and the only > reason it don't work for me is a mistake by myself. > What did you mean with "You're looking the wrong way"?
