WSL Workarounds

Auto-Startup

1. win+r, go to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
2. create the file wsl-start.vbe and add this:

Set ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
ws.run "wsl -d ubuntu -u root /etc/init.wsl start", vbhide

3. create the referenced file and do something there. Mine contains:

#! /bin/sh
/etc/init.d/ssh $1

Mount external Storage

Original Article replace "f" with the respective drive letter:

mkdir /mnt/f

mount -t drvfs f: /mnt/f
