The windows drives are mounted as /mnt/c, /mnt/d, etc...

You can call executables in both directions, even use windows executables in a bash script and pipe its output to awk.

One of the interesting things is that if Linux developed support for NTFS ACLs you could probably make it pretty seamless. One of the more convoluted parts of the NetApp filer code was the code that allowed for 'mixed' UNIX and CIFS volumes.

We're working on improving integration between Windows and Linux distros on WSL. Stay tuned for progress. The release notes on the WSL doc site [1] are basically our changelog. Highly recommended for the latest updates.

Full disclosure, I work at Microsoft on WSL.
