Description Jordi PM 2016-11-30 15:44:31 UTC
NTFS-3G doesn't support new reparse points for Windows 10 Anniversary edition compressed files. "advanced NTFS-3G says it does when installing a plugin.
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/advanced-ntfs-3g.html#download
https://github.com/ebiggers/ntfs-3g-system-compression

NTFS3G-AR is available in sunrise overlay, but is outdated and the source is unable to be fetched. I've created a new ebuild, but I have no idea how I can integrate the plugin into the ebuild and maybe, assign a USE flag.

I've reported this bug here as it is important for gentoo interoperability with windows, and I think should be looked onto.

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

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update windows 10 partition to anniversary edition
2. Find out your gentoo system is now unable to access certain windows files such as Windows/Fonts as they have been compressed with a "new" system
3. Find out that no ntfs3g ebuild supports such compression plugin and "advanced NTFS3G" is more than 3 years old.
Actual Results:  
access to each NTFS file returns "unsupported reparse point"

Expected Results:  
I should be able to access ntfs files without trouble

I tried creating a new ebuild for ntfs3g-ar and it has installed, but the error has become worse. e.g.:
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? verdanab.ttf
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? verdanai.ttf
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? verdana.ttf
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? verdanaz.ttf
-????????? ? ?    ?       ?            ? vga737.fon

copying ntfs3g-ar-2013.1.13.4.ebuild to ntfs3g-ar-2016.2.22.2.ebuild
and running:
ebuild Manifest  ntfs3g-ar-2016.2.22.2.ebuild
has let me install ntfs3g-ar, but more is needed to install ebiggers plugin (and/or) make it optional (USE)
Comment 2 Jordi PM 2016-11-30 15:54:02 UTC
I have been able to install the plugin but I'm unable to apprecciate any changes:
autoreconf -i
./configure && make
make install
