Interesting. What do we call this win_bashfs or something?
There's not much technical information available, but shouldn't
that "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (WSL) just pass on some NTFS?
It's not clear to me whether the entry point is a modified bash,
library or whatever, so bash may not always be involved here.
Therefore, I'd say "wsl_fs" or "wsl_ntfs" may be a valid name.
Since there is just a single kernel involved, I'm guessing
that we don't need to tag this as a "remote" file system,
and that inotify calls will fail/succeed as appropriate.
That could be confirmed using the inotifywait command as detailed at:
http://bugs.gnu.org/23143#11
WSL is in early beta, so I wouldn't expect inotify to work.
Should be no harm trying though I expect.
I went with "wslfs" as underscores are the exception in names.
I'll push the attached later.
cheers,
Pádraig

** Improvements
- stat and tail now know about "prl_fs" (a parallels file system), and
- "m1fs" (a Plexistor file system). stat -f --format=%T now reports the
- file system type, and tail -f uses the more conservative polling for
- "prl_fs", and inotify for "m1fs" file systems.
