Installation

Mount

If filesystem is known to Windows

If Windows can mount the disk itself, (D: for instance), it will be in /mnt/d (with 777 rights for exFAT).

If filesystem is NOT known to Windows

List disks to find the right one:

Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT * from Win32_DiskDrive"

Must be admin:

wsl.exe --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1

Connect USB devices

Install usbipd:

choco install usbpid-win -y

Find the right device (and BusID):

usbipd list

Then bind usbipd to it:

usbipd bind --busid 3-1

Lastly attach the bound device to wsl:

usbipd attach --wsl --busid 3-1

And detach it once finished:

usbipd detach --busid 3-1
