Fedora 35: FEDORA-2021-4dd269a76c Critical: NTFS-3G System Compression

System compression, also known as "Compact OS", is a Windows feature that

allows rarely modified files to be compressed using the XPRESS or LZX

compression formats. It is not built directly into NTFS but rather is

implemented using reparse points. This feature appeared in Windows 10 and it

appears that many Windows 10 systems have been using it by default.

This RPM contains a plugin which enables the NTFS-3G FUSE driver to

transparently read from system-compressed files. Currently, only reading is

supported. Compressing an existing file may be done by using the "compact"

utility on Windows.
