Rust unable to perform cargo run and cargo build on WSL

[rchrdrussell]

Problem

While learning Rust, I experienced a problem regarding cargo build and cargo run .
The error code is as follows:

richardrussell@Russell: /mnt/c/Users/Russell/amorfati/rust/test_file/src$ cargo run
Compiling test_file v0.1.0 (/mnt/c/Users/Russell/amorfati/rust/test_file)
error: Operation not permitted (os error 1)

Aside from these two, other commands such as cargo new works perfectly.
Steps

1. Create a new cargo directory using cargo new
2. Since cargo new will create a default main.rs file with "Hello, World", we can automatically run cargo run
3. The error message will appear as above

Possible Solution(s)

Notes

Output of cargo version:
cargo 1.43.0 (3532cf7 2020-03-17)

Installation method: Since this uses WSL, my Ubuntu version is Ubunutu 18.04.4 LTS which I downloaded over from the Microsoft Store. I also installed Rust using the WSL command in their website (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh)

Thanks for the report. For now, I think you'll need to use a local Ubuntu filesystem. The mounted Windows filesystems don't seem to support file mtime modifications. I have posted a fix at #8185.
