Filepermission are 777 for folders and 666 for files

[elmima-michael]

Describe the bug Sorry, I am sure it is not really a bug but I can't find a better support category :)

I just re-installed windows leaving the insider preview and going back to WSL1 as WSL2 seemed very slow and unreliable. Now when I create a folder in Pengwin, it gets permissions 777 and files get 666. I believe it was not like that before? The strange thing is if I create a folder in Windows Explorer, it gets 755 permissions in Pengwin. Where can I check/change that?

Thanks :) This is the content of my wsl.conf:

[automount] root=/ enabled = true options = "metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=11,case=off" mountFsTab = true crossDistro = true

[network] generateHosts = true generateResolvConf = true

[filesystem] umask = 22

Hello,

It happens in your Linux home or in Windows directories?

We will make some tests and get back to you.

It happens everywhere. e.g cd ~ brings me to "/home/elmima" then mkdir Test -> Folder has 777 permission

cd /mnt/p/Projects mkdir MineFromLinux -> MineFromLinux has 777

open windows explorer to P:\Projects Right click to create a new folder -> MineFromWindows

back to Pengwin cd /mnt/p/Projects ls -la MineFromWindows has 755 permission.

I wonder if it is just some wrong configuration on my machine because Pengwin has so far been my favourite and most often used distribution in WSL and I believe I would have noticed it sooner.

I think umask is not working properly during startup/mounting because when I enter umask the return value us 0000 But that's no biggie, I can just set it in my bashrc I guess?!
