Folder from mounted windows system (NFS file system) cannot be moved to location inside the WSL (EXT4 filesystem)

[jepster]

• A brief description

If I execute

mv /mnt/c/Users/MY-USER/Dev ~/some/location/in/linux/filesystem

The bash hangs. The folder is a small one (~30 MB). If I start an new window, the cursor is not visible. I even cannot restart the computer. The "computer is being restarted" info appears and does not disappear (waited long).

• Expected results

The "mv" program moves the folder to the desired location.

• Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)

The entire computer cannot be restarted. No new bash window can be started.

• Your Windows build number

14393.0

• Steps / All commands required to reproduce the error from a brand new installation

Use the "mv" program to move a folder from a mounted windows drive from the user's home folder in the /mnt/ folder and try to move it to the user's home folder inside the WSL.

Ok, I can specify the issue a bit more. It works if I specify "no" slash at the end.

This works:

mv ggg/bdhdb ggg/hihihi

This does not:

mv ggg/bdhdb/ ggg/hihihi

Somehow the slash at the end breaks the system.

@jepster This is fixed in the insider builds. It's the trailing-slash bug.
