It even works for removable fat32 media! tiernano 8 years ago you know, i just noticed this... my ExFAT SD Card is not visible... hmmm.... satori99 8 years ago I think this is because WSL uses NTFS Alternate data streams to store linux file attributes, and they don't survive when a file is copied to a non-NTFS file system. sz4kerto 8 years ago No, I don't think so. Alternate streams are only used inside the emulated Linux filesystem, not externally. jstarks 8 years ago You may have to mount it manually.
