Mount a drive into WSL distro owned by a restricted user #9406

Open pelepelin opened 1 year ago

pelepelin commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use Windows and WSL as a restricted user. However, mounting drives is only possible for Windows elevated admin account. I have access to admin account. However, it does not have access to restricted user's WSL distrubutions.

Describe the solution you'd like A way to mount a drive into restricted user WSL distributions, given user has access to elevated admin account.

Additional context

Restricted user:

C:\Users\User>wsl.exe -l -v
  NAME            STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu          Running         2
  Alpine          Stopped         2
  Ubuntu-20.04    Stopped         2

C:\Users\User>wsl.exe --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --partition 1
Administrator access is needed to mount a disk.
Error code: Wsl/Service/AttachDisk/WSL_E_ELEVATION_NEEDED_TO_MOUNT_DISK

If Admin has no installed distributions:

C:\Windows\system32>wsl.exe --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --partition 1
This operation is only supported by WSL2.
Error code: Wsl/Service/AttachDisk/WSL_E_WSL2_NEEDED

C:\Windows\system32>C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wsl.exe -l -v
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.

...

If Admin has installed distributions, mounting succeeds for Admin but disk is only visible in Admin's distributions.

I can confirm this issue on my installation of WSL2 and Ubuntu.

WSL version: 1.0.3.0 Kernel version: 5.15.79.1 WSLg version: 1.0.47 MSRDC version: 1.2.3575 Direct3D version: 1.606.4 DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp Windows version: 10.0.19045.2364

Lsblk shows drive only in WSL of elevated user. Mounting is only possible if elevated user has WSL installed.
