Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is currently not possible to mount USB storage devices passed through using usbip because the kernel lacks the necessary drivers.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like the usb storage drivers to be included in the WSL kernel.

Describe alternatives you've considered It is possible to custom compile my own kernel to do this, but this is not sustainable and not easy for less technical users.

This would be unbelievably useful!

this would be very useful! I tried the kernel compile but that got too complex quite fast!

That's a good one. So that we can easily mount ext4 filesystem disks in WSL.
