Repro Steps

Inside Ubuntu:

sudo -s
cd
apt update
apt install cryptsetup-bin
dd if=/dev/urandom of=disk.dd bs=4k count=100000
loop=$(losetup --find --show disk.dd)
cryptsetup luksFormat $loop
cryptsetup open $loop loop
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/loop
mkdir /mnt/loop
mount /dev/mapper/loop /mnt/loop
touch /mnt/loop/some.file

From Windows:

• Open /mnt/loop in Ubuntu using Explorer
• Create a file (New > Text Document) and put something in it

Expected Behavior

• I expect some.file to be shown in Explorer
• I expect the Text Document created from Windows to be in the drive mounted in /mnt/loop (/root/disk.dd in this case) not in the directory /mnt/loop

Actual Behavior

• The file some.file is not there
• The new Text Document is created in the directory /mnt/loop instead of the mounted drive in /mnt/loop (you can confirm this by unmounting /mnt/loop)
