There is more than one NTFS driver now. There is one in kernel
and one in FUSE. They're different. From different sources.
Your newest distro may be doing something you did not expect
or select yourself as a behavior.

One knows something about more reparse points than the other.
This means, when a reparse point is present, the label in the GUI
will attest to that fact. The other driver tended to produce
messages that were a bit deceptive about what was going on.

This has no impact on a USB stick with a few files on it. Most
of the bad behaviors are when using Linux to work on Windows OS volumes.
