Symbolic links have been expanded in Windows, previously available only through administrative privileges. Linux is documented as supporting NTFS 3.1, the version shipped in Windows 10.

What functionality is available for Linux handling symbolic links on an NTFS mount through basic commands, programming constructs, and file browsing? How how might the behavior vary depending on whether the mount is through FUSE versus the kernel module?

  • Windows has supported junction points and hard link long ago so directory symlink isn't quite necessary. Windows generally can't be split into different partitions like Linux so symlink would be less useful as hardlink can fulfill its role Commented Oct 7, 2022 at 11:41
  • ntfs3 currently doesn't support junctions but kernel 6.1 will. As for functionality, I've no idea. I wouldn't want to "manage" NTFS links under Linux. Reading is enough. Commented Oct 7, 2022 at 14:10
