OneDrive shared folder and chmod

[fredmo]

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.22631.3527]

WSL Version

2.2.3.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.15.153.1-2

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04

Other Software

OneDrive Windows : Build 24.076.0414.0005 (64 bits)

Repro Steps

I have a OneDrive folder in Windows.
By using this folder in WSL2, there is no support of chmod.

=> on WSL :
touch ~/OneDrive/test
chmod +x ~/OneDrive/test
chmod: changing permissions of '/home/my/OneDrive/test': Operation not permitted

=> on Native Ubuntu :
It s disturbing because on native linux/ubuntu (24.04), I am able to mount the OneDrive with rclone, and I don't have error of chmod.
chmod +x ~/OneDrive/test
ls -ltr ~/OneDrive/test
ls: /home/me/OneDrive/test: Input/output error
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sah0027 sah0027 0 May 5 17:32 /home/me/OneDrive/test
Yes, in native ubuntu the chmod is not applied , but it s not doing the error on chmod.

( ps : is there a way to have permission support enabled on a OneDrive shared folder ?)

Regards,

Expected Behavior

The issue is to have a difference of behaviour, personally i would prefer the behaviour Ubuntu native.
=> chmod ok

Actual Behavior

=> on WSL :
touch ~/OneDrive/test
chmod +x ~/OneDrive/test
chmod: changing permissions of '/home/my/OneDrive/test': Operation not permitted

Ps:
in /etc/wsl.conf , I have :
[automount]
options = "metadata"

[fredmo]

and with mount , I see :

C:\ on /mnt/c type 9p (rw,noatime,dirsync,aname=drvfs;path=C:;uid=0;gid=0;metadata;symlinkroot=/mnt/,mmap,access=client,msize=65536,trans=fd,rfd=11,wfd=11)

And in wsl, ~/OneDrive is a symlink to : /mnt/c/XX/OneDrive - YY/

The error you're seeing is because Linux permissions don't really make sense for a OneDrive folder mounted on the Windows side.

Accessing the files themselves should work though. Could you capture logs of the file accesses failing ? /logs
