Description: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Release: 24.04
The package is not really known, but NTFS3 seems to belong to the Linux
kernel.
$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 6.8.0-63.66-generic 6.8.12
What is expected:
1. command stat should show information about the hidden state.
2. command find should find such "hidden" files.
3. command ls should have a switch to list such "hidden" files.
Discussion base is the following user directory on a Windows NTFS partition:
C:\Users>Attrib Praxis\* /D

C:\Users\Praxis\Anwendungsdaten

The folder C:\Users\Praxis\AppData is flagged with the HIDDEN attribute.
When mounting among other options with the nohidden option we see:
$ findmnt --type ntfs3
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt/Daten /dev/sda7 ntfs3
rw,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0002,fmask=0113,discard,nohidden,hide_dot_files,windows_names,iocharset=utf8
And ls -al does not list folder C:\Users\Praxis\AppData
$ ls -al /mnt/Daten/Users/Praxis/

But stat knows about this folder:
$ stat /mnt/Daten/Users/Praxis/AppData

But it does not show, that this file has a whatever property which makes it
hidden for normal access.
In other words, there is no way to test, if a file is marked hidden or not
and no such property is known in POSIX terminology, but in fact it is not
listed by ls -al.
Surprisingly with the -d switch ls reports about this file:
$ ls -ald /mnt/Daten/Users/Praxis/AppData
drwxrwxr-x 1 praxis praxis 0 Jul 9 00:39 /mnt/Daten/Users/Praxis/AppData
On the other hand, it is not findable:
$ find /mnt/Daten/Users/Praxis/ -name AppData
$
- This is very confusing, that there is no terminology which describes
- this special difference to normal files, and the handling looks
- inconsistent.
