🖥️ linux-wsl2-ceph

Linux kernel for Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). Modified for usage with Ceph, NFS 4.1.

Build and deploy

Open WSL2 and install dependencies:

sudo apt install flex bison libelf-dev libssl-dev crudini

Prepare scripts:

make prepare scripts

Configure the kernel:

make menuconfig

Build the kernel:

make

Install kernel modules:

sudo make modules_install

Copy kernel image:

mkdir -p /mnt/c/Sdk/Wsl
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /mnt/c/Sdk/Wsl/kernel

Configure Windows to use the custom kernel:

crudini --set "$(wslpath "$(wslvar USERPROFILE)")/.wslconfig" wsl2 kernel "$(wslpath -w "/mnt/c/Sdk/Wsl/kernel" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g')"

Now exit the WSL2 shell and open Powershell as an administrator.

Restart WSL2:

wsl --shutdown
Restart-Service LxssManager

You can now run wsl with the custom kernel. The kernel runs all Linux dstributions, so you only have to change the kernel once.
