On top of command not working, it also "Ejects" the drive as a side effect. Any solutions to this?

@dmitry-ovon You can bring back the drive using following command: Set-Disk $n -IsOffline 0 Replace $n with your disk number

In my case, a SDXC card in a reader will neither mount in WSL2 via --mount nor using the /etc/fstab route:

` sudo mount -t drvfs E: /mnt/sd

<4>WARNING: mount: waiting for virtio device... <3>init: (639) ERROR: MountPlan9WithRetry:285: mount drvfs on /mnt/sd (cache=mmap,rw,msize=262144,trans=virtio,aname=drvfs;path=E:;symlinkroot=/mnt/) failed: 2 mount: No such file or directory` It is formatted NTFS, normally not a problem to refer to it as /mnt/e. Linux (dual booted) sees this partition as /dev/mmcblk0p1 and mounts it fine. WSL seems crankier about it ... Here's the output from dmesg, not helpful to me at least: `[ 5.835977] init: (1) ERROR: UtilCreateProcessAndWait:673: /bin/mount failed with status 0x [ 5.835980] 4000 [ 5.835989] init: (1) ERROR: ConfigMountFsTab:2529: Processing fstab with mount -a failed.` Possible (bad) interaction with Antivirus in Windows? Seems that way to me.

Hello! Could you please provide more logs to help us better diagnose your issue?

To collect WSL logs, download and execute collect-wsl-logs.ps1 in an administrative powershell prompt:

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/WSL/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1" -OutFile collect-wsl-logs.ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
.\collect-wsl-logs.ps1

The scipt will output the path of the log file once done.

Once completed please upload the output files to this Github issue.

There are some problems with the Docker desktop that uses WSL 2 backend as the based engine. I do some workaround such remove the linux distro and WSL 2 I'm using and reinstalled it again. However, in the distribution installation step, I got:

Installing, this may take a few minutes... WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070002 Error: 0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified. Press any key to continue...

I've spent several hours tried to troubleshoot it but still stuck on it.

bretthacker commented 1 year ago

This exact issue has been reported in various places for over 2 years. It's clear most of these folks are dealing with a Raspberry Pi (SD card, 2 partitions, fat32 and ext4). It's ludicrous that someone in Redmond hasn't taken the 10 minutes necessary to repro this issue then step their code to see what's broken. Of course, fixing it would enable all these people to successfully and easily use a different device with a different OS, so after 40 years, Microsoft is still...Microsoft.

Hi all. I have the same problem and still did not find out how to actually solve it, as far as the built-in SD card reader of my laptop is concerned. However, I found a workaround with an external USB SD Card reader and this awesome video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyBfQXmyH4o

o-alquimista commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately, this is currently unsupported. From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk:

If you are looking for guidance on how to connect a USB device (flash drive, SD card reader, etc), see Connect USB devices.

Which indicates the use of a third-party open source utility called usbipd-win.

I'm using it here to decrypt a LUKS-encrypted USB stick. It works good. The only downside is having to compile the WSL kernel with USB storage support.

pinballelectronica commented 6 months ago

Haha the internet is packed full of people complaining about this. It's actually hilarious it's taken years. I wonder if Microsoft is doing an experiment to see how long people will keep trying when they won't fix the solution to their bugs. The answers website is spammed with these questions too. In concept it seems fairly trivial to fix this- what would cause an ext4 mount failure? I know Windows generally needs a running driver to access ext filesystems so I presume the solution must be in a driver somewhere. It's definitely not trivial to translate a filesystem although mounting, I think, shouldn't be too hard. I wonder if it's a problem with the partitions? Has anyone succesfully mounted an EXT filesystem via USB with ONE partition? Just curious.. Good luck all, it's like watching paint dry.

Apfelmoes commented 4 months ago

How the fuck has this still not been fixed?

pki791 commented 4 months ago

i overcome it by making image if the drive i want to modify (HddRawCopy), mount it in loop in WSL/Ubuntu, modify, unmount, reimage. What a pain in the ass. Trying to leave windows now, going to macOS or ubuntu.

jglathe commented 4 months ago

yk how I overcame this? I used Linux bare metal :man_shrugging: In my case I used a RPi4 to create the image I wanted to create from WSL first. It has the same arch, was able to do my stuff. Still baffled that this isn't solved. Maybe its an architectural issue with WSL2 VMs.
