Comment (by stippi):
Using the attribute facilities of NTFS is quite cool. For example, it
would allow you to store media files with meta data on a volume that other
operating systems can read without hassle. There are multiple factors
here:
* The attribute support in our NTFS file system add-on is not finished,
AFAIK. It should be finished first and perhaps disabled for the time being
if noone has time to work on it right now.
* From the ticket description/comments, I would say the file was moved
from one directory to another on the same volume. If Windows behaves this
way, then the whole idea, neat as it is, is screwed and we need to disable
this feature. I have a patch in my local tree which disables this.
* If on the other hand the copy was attempted from NTFS to FAT, then I'd
say the warning is fine and we can keep the feature enabled. It doesn't
look like it's the case, though.
