The new NTFS3 driver does not properly resolve junctions. Under ntfs-3g: lrwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 15 Oct 21 07:59 'Documents and Settings' -> /mnt/Windows10/Users a proper working link. Under ntfs3: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Oct 21 07:59 'Documents and Settings' -> C:/Users this and other links, e.g. Users/All Users, Users/Default User, etc. are all broken.

There's no rush really, I just wanted to be sure my message had been noticed. I may as well close this bug report if it's an annoyance.
It is ok to be open for now. Maybe somebody else will also report bugs here. We really wan't them now. I'm also quite certain there will be many after 5.15 will be released. Hopefully no corruption bugs.
The patch has been posted to LKML and NTFS3 mailing lists. https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2209.0/07518.html
