Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
So for an actual non-root mount point, ntpath.ismount() returns True and with
IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT included ntpath.islink() also returns True.
nt.readlink() returns the "\\?\Volume{GUID}\" path
Root mount points ("C:\\", etc.) do not return true for islink()
os.rename() and os.unlink() work on non-root mount points, but not on root
mount points. So there is at least some value in being able to detect "this is
a root mount point that acts like a file".
I'm not seeing why having both islink() and ismount() be true in this case is a
problem.
