Could you provide the content of /etc/fstab file?

DevDesktop:~# cat /etc/fstab

# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM

DevDesktop:~#

I resolved it by adjusting my distro configuration:

cat <<EOF > etc/wsl.conf
[automount]
mountFsTab = false

[user]
default = developer
EOF

I get the same thing.
my /etc/fstab

UUID=148e0ac8-7864-46df-a27f-a77fe56febcd /home ext4    defaults        0 0

when I su to root and run mount -a it runs.
