Comment 18 for bug 997391

Proposed patch (created by upstream)

Hi,

While investigating an issue with baobab (gnome disk usage tool, bug 811399) I found out that ntfs-3g returns an invalid result when a junction point (symbolic link) is detected. Whenever a junction point is detected, the readdir syscall thinks that the file in question is a directory while it actually is a symbolic link.

I filed this issue upstream along with a testcase and they provided a fix for this issue. I tested this patch on my Fedora 17 x86_64 environment and it indeed does resolve the baobab issue.

Could you please apply this patch in the ntfs-3g package for now?
