Hello, This is my ~22th attempt to draw attention to this issue. Konstantin has= =20 been emailed twice with a clean Windows image that exhibits the issue. Whenever I list files on my NTFS partitions I get a lot of SPAM in=20 dmesg, e.g.: ntfs3: sda3: ino=3D14c, Correct links count -> 1. ntfs3: sda3: ino=3D73, Correct links count -> 1. ntfs3: sda3: ino=3D167, Correct links count -> 1. ntfs3: sda3: ino=3Dd9, Correct links count -> 1. ntfs3: sda3: ino=3Dd5, Correct links count -> 1. And the partition in question has been fully chkdsk'ed and has no issues. Please fix. This is still reproducible as of 7.1.3. I first reported the issue for=20 Linux 6.8.2, i.e. over a year ago. Maybe someone could look into it=20 after all. I can email you an NTFS image if necessary but _ANY_ Windows=20 10 or 11 install will exhibit it. Best regards, Artem
