Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm experiencing severe performance issues while using WSL for full-stack development, with my disk usage frequently hitting 100%. I suspect this is related to storing the
ext4.vhdxfile on a developer disk formatted with ReFS.Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have the ability to use a physical partition as the system disk for WSL directly. I believe this change could potentially enhance performance and allow for simpler storage management.
Describe alternatives you've considered
While considering moving the
ext4.vhdxto another partition, I thought of this potentially better solution, as dedicating a single partition just to store a VHDX file seems extremely inelegant to me.Additional context
I will continue to track the issue of disk usage reaching 100% in a short time during development and provide feedback on my experience.
