Some new developments on this : This issue is caused by a weakness in fuse which affects all file systems based on fuse. See https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse/mailman/message/37679352/ Guessing from within ntfs-3g a...

The issue is within the kernel side of fuse, not in libfuse (libfuse will however have to be upgraded when the remount notification is implemented).

@unsound maybe you should use ioctl(BLKPBSZGET) instead of ioctl(BLKSSZGET) to get the physical sector size, see https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2012-10/msg00018.html (I have no 4k sectored disk and cannot check the difference).

Thanks for the detailed report. This is an APPEXECLINK reparse tag. Apparently this is for downloading and starting a Microsoft cloud application. This application is not sitting on your computer...

To give another example : on my system I have an APPEXECLINK reparse tag on C:\Users\Jean-Pierre\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.exe with the description : ``` Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe!PythonRedirector C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.17.10271.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppInstallerPythonRedirector.exe ``` and clicking on it...

My own experience is that fuse does not prevent from remounting, leading to unexpected situations in the file system. Doing a rw remount after a ro mount leads to the...
