rsync can't handle WSL symlinks #343

Closed mqudsi closed 2 years ago

mqudsi commented 6 years ago

In my source directory is a symlink'd directory created from within WSL. When VSLinux executes its rsync port, it barfs when attempting to synchronize that path with the following error:

... test/is_potential_path_test/beta/ tests/ rsync: send_files failed to open "/C/Users/mqudsi/random/fish-shell/test/home/fish/functions": Bad file number (9)

The following debug info was obtained from within WSL:

mqudsi@ZBook /m/c/U/m/r/fish-shell> file test/home/fish/functions
test/home/fish/functions: symbolic link to /mnt/c/Users/mqudsi/random/fish-shell/tests/test_functions

This issue is being closed because we are no longer tracking VS Linux issues on GitHub. If the issue still reproduces, bugs and new suggestions should be reported on the Developer Community forum. It is centralized, better equipped for group voting, and has more visibility.
