Hi folks
I'm experimenting with WSL2 in Windows -- my default install is fedora-f44 which installed fine and the commands seem to be working plus physical linux disks are seen in Windows powershell

however I can't seem to mount them in the linux WSL -- mounting is the same process across all Linux distros so any wsl distro you have should be the same process.

Any ideas of how to fix

Fixed as shown in another post - basically I needed to install XFSPROGS as the file system is XFS (I don't like ext4) and mount the physical disk with the parameter --bare.

Cheers
jimbo
