It can't work with network shares or non-ntfs volumes though.

This was true in previous versions, but with the Fall Creators Update you can mount mapped network drives inside of Linux:

  sudo mount -t drvfs z: /mnt/z

Now that's pretty cool. It even works for removable fat32 media!

I think this is because WSL uses NTFS Alternate data streams to store linux file attributes, and they don't survive when a file is copied to a non-NTFS file system.

No, I don't think so. Alternate streams are only used inside the emulated Linux filesystem, not externally.

You may have to mount it manually.
