Eryk Sun <[email protected]> added the comment:
In Windows, the error for a path reparse (e.g. symlink or junction) that can't
be resolved is ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME. Another common error is
ERROR_INVALID_REPARSE_DATA. This can occur if the reparse data is malformed or
if the target device is invalid for the reparse type. For example, a junction
is restricted to [bind-]mounting local volumes, so it's invalid if it targets a
remote device.
Windows errors to ignore should be added to _IGNORED_WINERRORS in
Lib/pathlib.py. For example:
_IGNORED_WINERRORS = (
# ...
1921, # ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME - similar to POSIX ELOOP
4392, # ERROR_INVALID_REPARSE_DATA - also for disallowed device targets
)
