   So what's the status there, Samba and symlinks? I rather enjoy symlinks   
   in Windows these days, in msys2. Although they're weirdly restricted,   
   either need admin rights or need to turn on "developer mode" to just   
   create them.

   I've tried the NFS client support in Windows but it didn't impress. It   
   has been a while though, I think it was in the Windows 7 and early   
   Windows 10 times.   
      
   sshfs has been enough for my needs for Linux fs access from Windows and   
   I do my Windows backups from Linux, mostly.
