Version

10.0.22000.1219; Invalid command line option: --version

WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

4.19.104

Distro Version

22.04

Other Software

Using an encrypted harddrive mounted with Veracrypt 1.25.9.
And rsync version 3.1.3 protocol version 31.

Repro Steps

I mount the harddrive first with Veracrypt and then with sudo mount... within WSL2.

Then I run rsync with the target folder a subfolder on the harddrive.

Expected Behavior

It should copy files and directories to the harddrive.

Actual Behavior

Only folders are created. Files fail with the error Operation not permitted (1).

Apparently, that could be worked around with sudo rsync..., but this is not a very appealing and secure solution.

Diagnostic Logs

No response

Try adding -o metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000, or at least the uid/gid. See this comment on #3187.
