Description Maxim Kammerer 2012-03-27 18:27:51 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create (mkntfs) an NTFS filesystem, and mount with usermapping=..., mapping being, e.g.:

  ::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-10000

(see ntfs-3g(8)).

2. Create a symlink on the filesystem as regular user (not root)

3. "getfattr -h symlink" as regular user -> "Permission denied"

The above means that, for instance, "rsync -X" fails when executed by regular user.

I know it's most likely an upstream issue, but it will be great if someone can confirm it first.

Should be fixed in 2013.1.13.
