Had to whip up a quick easy solution to access my linux drive from windows to get some files across. This is what I came up with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is mostly ripped from [this microsoft article](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk) but i figured i'd keep it here for when i inevitably have to do this again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/* Mount NVME from path (GET-CimInstance -query) */
|
||
|
|
wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1
|
||
|
|
wsl
|
||
|
|
/* Find the partition number (i.e sda1 = 1) */
|
||
|
|
lsblk
|
||
|
|
exit
|
||
|
|
/* Remount the drive with the correct partition */
|
||
|
|
wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --partition 1 --type ext4
|
||
|
|
wsl
|
||
|
|
/* Find mount point within wsl (in my case, /dev/sdd2 */
|
||
|
|
df
|
||
|
|
/* Mount drive within wsl */
|
||
|
|
sudo mkdir /mnt/debian
|
||
|
|
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdd2 /mnt/debian
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this completed, you'll be able to natively access an ext4 partition using the WSL file explorer integration and zoom all your files across at good speeds.
