snapshot verify fails for repository stored on root of device #5142

I'm a Windows user trying to test the example command kopia snapshot verify --verify-files-percent=1 --file-parallelism=10 --parallel=10 for a repository located on an external HDD. It appears that kopia attempts to read System Volume Information while searching for blobs and fails due to that location having the System attribute.

I am unaware of any way to override this error. The flag --max-errors does not do anything to skip the unreadable location. Running kopia.exe as Administrator also does not change the result.

Here's all the commands I ran with the result of snapshot verify:

kopia maintenance run
kopia maintenance run --full
kopia snapshot verify --verify-files-percent=1 --file-parallelism=10 --parallel=10
