[Libguestfs] ntfs-3g data deduplication support in guestmount for creating file based back-ups on visualization platform

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello everybody,

I am using libguestfs-tools version 1.28.1 in a bunch of bash scripts to 
make back-ups of the files on a visualisation platform.

I been trying to get read access to ntfs volumes with data deduplication 
working.

The ntfs-3g guys developed some support and I have this working when 
using the commands our back-up servers.

However when using the guestmount tool the read suport foor dedub is gone.

See this email for all the commands I use (working mount -t ntfs and 
non-working guestmount commands).

https://sourceforge.net/p/ntfs-3g/mailman/message/35595392/

How can I see what version of ntfs-3g is used in guestmount and if it is 
using the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-80000013.so 
plugin that is on my back-up server?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
