Interesting. What do we call this win_bashfs or something?

Since there is just a single kernel involved, I'm guessing
that we don't need to tag this as a "remote" file system,
and that inotify calls will fail/succeed as appropriate.
That could be confirmed using the inotifywait command as detailed at:
