Subject: WSL symbolic links
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 10:00:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <294944bd-757e-4bb8-6bcc-ceb8d9190ef9@towo.net> (raw)

A symbolic link created with WSL is neither interpreted in cygwin nor 
can it be deleted:
 > touch file
 > wsl ln -s file link
 > wsl ls -l link
lrwxrwxrwx    1 towo     towo             1 Mar 26 08:56 link -> file
 > ls -l link
-rw-r----- 1 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 0 Mar 26 00:00 link
 > rm -f link
/bin/rm: cannot remove 'link': Permission denied (even as admin)
 > cmd /c del link
works.
