5649	create_directories() fails with NTFS mounted volumes	Tomas Kazmar <tomash.kazmar@…>	Beman Dawes	"When there is an NTFS mounted volume at some level in the path which is passed to `create_directories`. The function fails because of the first two checks:
{{{
#!div style=""font-size: 80%""
  {{{#!c++
  BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DECL
  bool create_directories(const path& p, system::error_code* ec)
  {
    if (p.empty() || exists(p))
    {
      if (!p.empty() && !is_directory(p))
      {
        ...throws/returns an error...
  }}}
}}}
For a mounted volume path p is not `empty`, it `exists`, but `is_directory(p)` fails. This happens because a mounted volume directory is reported by `status(p)` as `file_type::reparse_file`.

Probably `is_directory()` should be changed to accept existing NTFS mounted volumes as already existing directories along the path which is to be created.
