Using Windows Syncthing with a WSL2 folder

Support
1

I’d like to be able to use WSL2 folders with Syncthing, such as the following home folder:

 \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\brandon

In 1.10.0-rc.3, this appears to work at first but I get the message:

For the following folders an error occurred while starting to watch for changes. It will be retried every minute, so the errors might go away soon. If they persist, try to fix the underlying issue and ask for help if you can’t. Support

Home for dev containers Incorrect function.

Note that “Home for dev containers” is just the folder label I gave to the above home folder.

You can probably disable change notification and rely on periodic rescans to get rid of the error, but yeah, this seems to be some funny fake filesystem with missing functionality so I think you’re on your own here.
