Created attachment 605323 [details] 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?

Erik, the patch you attached is seriously malformed (how did you manage that?), but I found the correct patch from the tuxera link. Update is coming, thanks.

I don't know what went wrong, but when I perform 'wget https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=605323' it returns a proper patch here. Anyway, you managed to get the patch from upstream so everything is good now. Thanks for the quick update!
