Description
The new NTFS driver, while a major improvement in many respects, does lack the support for extended attributes the old driver had. Similarly, symlinks and hardlinks are not supported either.
(I note that NTFS has had some changes here, with respect to WSL, and it is worth investigating those before making a decision as to how they should be implemented.)
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Symlinks were done in hrev57171 (#18490). I haven't looked at hardlinks.
Extended attributes, on the other hand, may not be a good idea to support. I'm not sure they're even case-preserving, based on testing what's possible with them on WSL1.
