When synchronising a drive (in my case D:) which contains a mounted volume (in my case named D-Extension), that mounted volume is not shown when running "Compare", and is not included in the synchronisation process. However, if specifically synchronising this mounted volume, its content shows up in "Compare" and the synchronisation runs process correctly.

Is there a way of getting FreeFileSync to include this mounted volume in the synchronisation of my D: drive?

Was the mount (mountvol ?) done before FFS was opened?

NTFS Junctions (or Mount Points) are treated like Symlinks (which are skipped by default):

xCSxXenon: Yes, Windows 10, with latest updates.

therube: Not sure what mountvol means. This mounted Volume was created during volume creation in Disk Management.

Zenju: I followed the suggestions to set up this option when opening FreeFileSync as Administrator. That seems to have worked.
