Where did you read this? I just looked and can see no such restriction.
There is no such restriction for junctions, I just tried it to be safe.
Yes, sorry. I had old NTFS4 information. NTFS5 supports volume mount points now too.
But shouldn't we check in configure :) for this filesystem then? (Ha! ntfs5.m4 for MSVC folks)
No, of course not. That would only check the machine where you compile, not where you install/run.
Tablespaces are not supported on NT4. They throw an error.
So just describe in the docs that only NTFS5 (i.e. W2K and up) supports th new tablespace feature.
I could find my cygwin niche then to support it by our native and slow symlink implementation :)
