Copying drive with windows installation under Ubuntu 18
0
I got a virus on my computer Win 10. So I decided to do full reinstall. To save files I installed new hard drive, created USB Ubuntu stick, booted from it and I am trying to copy files under Ubuntu. I am getting the following error message while copying:
Error while copying
There was an error reading folder "LocalCache"
Error opening directory
'/media/ubuntu/CCB411EEB411DC30/Users/some_user/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c/LocalCache': No such file or directory
There are options to cancel, skip all, skip and retry
Retry does not work, but I can always skip.
But I curious where this error is coming from and how to fix it?
Update 1:
I found the problem file/folder on the original drive. Here is some info on it.
Name: LocalCache
Type: Link (broken) (inode/symlink)
Link target: unsupported reparse point
Size: 25 bytes
Update 2:
Running terminal stat command on this file returned:
File: LocalCache -> unsupported reparse point

Have you looked at what the actual file is (& directory in which it resides); ie. what is in that directory? If you see the file, what type (file) of file is it? can youstatit? to view attributes for clues etc. If you're happy with keeping it I'd themmvorrenameit to rename it IF i believed it safe & wanted; otherwise I'd justrmit & restore a backup. these are random thoughts - I alter where I go by what I see in prior step...

@guiverc, Thank you for reply! I added update. I am not even sure if it is file or folder. I would rather keep it if possible.

the commands used do not change if it's a file or folder.filewould have reported it's a folder if you'd use that (file is a command to determine file type [using contents of file and not it's name]) I'd also suggest when you copy/paste output you provide context (ie. command used to create output; you saw the command, we didn't & may make false assumptions...)

@guiverc Sorry I did not clarify, I am copying them using standard Ubuntu GUI, I do not remember proper name of it

Okay, I use command usually (notnautiluswhich is probably what you're using). It's not a real file, but a file-entry pointing to a inode (block/cluster) used by another file ...statwould have provided this info (i'm used to looking at command line). Since it's not a Ubuntu fs, it may not see everything windows sees, but I'd skip it (you could manuallyln -sit later, but to be useful in windows it would need to be done within windows.
