This is not right. cygwin symlink needs 'SYSTEM' attribute. So it does not work in file system which does not support that attributes.

Basically, linux file system does not support 'SYSTEM' attribute, but samba support it using extended attributes if 'store dos attributes' is set to 'yes' (by default since samba 4.9). -- Takashi Yano
