#125 Symbolic link is reported as directory instead of JUNCTION

I'm having this issue, too. It's irritating because it means I can't do anything that would search through the drive, and there's no way to tell if two files are the same file or not.

Jorgo, that program is for creating new links; it wouldn't help in this case. (I don't know about the bug creator, but I personally am mounting my drives as read-only deliberately.) Besides, it probably only works for NTFS.

For shits and giggles, try if http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html solves your problem.

Symbolic link is reported as directory instead of JUNCTION

Running Ext2Fsd 0.53 on Windows 7 pro (ver 6.1.7601) with an ext4 formatted drive. This drive keeps crashing many programs that I run on the drive letter. Taking a look at the structure of the drive, there is a directory that has a symbolic link named "logical" that points to directory ../../../logical. This is reported by the driver as an actual directory and not a "Junction" in Windows. This causes a loop which causes programs to either crash, run out of stack or fail when the directory gets too long.

Please update so ext4 links are seen by Windows as "JUNCTION" or "SYMLINK".
