getxattr("acl_test1", "system.posix_acl_access", 0x7fffebb95300, 132) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

The current list of supported extended attributes is pretty small, and no system.* attributes are currently on that list. Marking this as a bug.

homotechsual · 2018-07-18T14:30:00Z

This issue still seems to exist on 17134

Brian-Perkins · 2018-07-18T18:01:35Z

Actually digging into what this attribute does, this will not be a straight-forward resolution. Windows already has a very rich ACL model which can be accessed via icacls.exe, but the problem is that the users created in the distro are not known to Windows, so they cannot be used for ACL operations. So the most obvious solutions would be either: 1) create minimal Windows entities corresponding to distro users that can be used for ACL operations; or 2) build a separate ACL model that only works inside of WSL. Neither of these is a trivial task. Unfortunately, that means switching this from bug to feature.

WSLUser · 2018-07-18T18:47:00Z

I'd vote for option 2 to enable posix-style acls as described in this issue's OP.

homotechsual · 2018-07-19T12:18:44Z

I'd like to see posix acls work but map as closely as possible to underlying windows permissions. If such a thing is possible.
