ReparsePoints
This automated test validates reparse points on the upper file system stack.
This test sets, deletes, and queries reparse points via FSCTLs. The test proceeds by setting different sizes of reparse data on files and directories.
The test also includes dismount testing with setting reparse points and invalid input. Specifically, the test includes the following:
FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT
FSCTL_GET_REPARSE_POINT
FSCTL_DELETE_REPARSE_POINT

Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting File System Testing.
All test cases return Pass or Fail. To review test details, review the test log from Windows Hardware Certification Kit (Windows HCK) Studio.
If you experience a test failure, run it with the option /V to have the test print additional information about variation failures (example: rp_regres %DRIVE_ltr% /V).
If you experience many failures, make sure that you are running on the correct type of file system. You can also check the file-system information about a volume to make sure that reparse points are supported. To do so, use the command fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo %DRIVE_ltr% and look for the output Supports Reparse Points.
