Using EV 9.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2
Trying to archive an NTFS Mount Point where the root volume/share sits above the Mount Point folder, for example:
\\fileserver\data$ - Volume Target, archivepoints set to autoenable subfolders
\\fileserver\data$\driveasmountpoint - NTFS Simple Volume as a mount point, should get autoenabled
When running the FSA task against the server, no archivepoints are created on any of the underlying mount points
DTRACE on the EvFsaArchivingTask shows:
{FileSystemFolderWalker.ProcessFolder} Queueing folder: \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$ for processing
457 10:47:00.145 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-M {FileSystemFolderWalker.ProcessFolder} The folder: \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$ will not be queued for processing as it has no Archive Point associated with it
458 10:47:00.145 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-M {FileSystemFolderWalker.ProcessFolder} Folder: \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$\driveasmountpoint, currentRootFolder: \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$\

460 10:47:00.161 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-M {FileSystemFolderWalker.ProcessFolder} The folder will be ignored as it is a reparse point: \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$\driveasmountpoint
461 10:47:00.161 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-L {FileSystemArchivingCheckPoint.CheckIfVolumeFullyWalkedInLastRun} Volume \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$ was partially walked/never walked in one of the last runs
462 10:47:00.161 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-L {FileSystemArchivingCheckPoint.AddFolderToPartiallyWalkedVolumeInfoList} On volume \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$, add folder \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$\driveasmountpoint to partially walked volume list
463 10:47:00.161 [4692] (EvFsaArchivingTask) <4072> EV-L {FileSystemArchivingCheckPoint.AddFolderToPartiallyWalkedVolumeInfoList} Volume \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$ entry did not exist in the partially walked volume list with the last folder walked as \\?\UNC\fileserver\Data$\driveasmountpoint. So it was added.
I cannot find any detail showing why "The folder will be ignored as it is a reparse point" that shows why this will not work.
Any advice would be appreciated, as this is yet another showstopper in getting EV up and running in this organisation.

When working with mount points, the FSA volume target needs to be on or below the mount point. If it is above the mount point, FSA will process all regular folders, but will not walk in to the mount point. This is documented in the current SCL on page 56.
