If there's a cross drive links in your project on Windows, Vite may not work.

An example error you may encounter is:

```console
Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, watch 'C:/Users/me/project/vite.config.js'
```

An example of cross drive links are:

- a virtual drive linked to a folder by `subst` command
- a symlink/junction to a different drive by `mklink` command (e.g. Yarn global cache)
- A VirtualBox shared folder
