  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    10.0.16299.64

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    Executing unlink /mnt/d/Documents/VS2017/g.txt hangs WSL. In the command: /mnt/d/Documents/VS2017 is a junction pointing to /mnt/d/Documents/Visual Studio 2017, g.txt is a plain text file created with a previous command.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    The file should've been deleted.

  • Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If some_command is failing, then run strace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents of some_command.strace in a gist here)
    N/A

  • Notes
    The same command does not hang WSL when the path is the original one (without the junction). After the WSL hangs, there is no other option except restarting the computer.

I was not able to reproduce this in 17711, and I suspect this is fixed in 1803 (17134). Please reopen if you can hit this on 1803.
