stat returns wrong symlink size
man 2 stat wrote:
The st_size field gives the size of the file (if it is a regular file
or a symbolic link) in bytes. The size of a symbolic link is the
length of the pathname it contains, without a terminating null byte.
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ntfs-3g --version
ntfs-3g 2015.3.14AR.1 integrated FUSE 28
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/vdb1 -Q
Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.
Creating NTFS volume structures.
mkntfs completed successfully. Have a nice day.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ ln -s foobar baz
ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ stat baz

It reported "Size: 20". It should have reported "Size: 6", length of "foobar".
Confirmed on ntfs-3g 2015.3.14AR.1 and ntfs-3g 2016.2.22.
